As an actress, I have to admit, her having therapists on set? That's ground breaking.
100% agree
Absolutely
I wonder how the therapist helps them though it.
amazing
As a therapist we introduce coping skills, talk through feelings thst arise so they can continue their work. Trauma work as well.
She's legit one of the most talented directors working today. I can't wait for her mini-series
Agree!!!!
@Bryzz Lull "Left wing propaganda"? SMH, thanks for exposing your ignorance.
@Bryzz Lull have you watched the series it's literally based on true facts and the boys have been exonerated so therefore the whole way the prosecution of these boys played out had racist undertones or was broken or they just didn't care about the victim they just wanted to not rile up the Press and not have the Press keep asking "who did it, who did it?" and just get it done with, so they picked up any (black) boy and in the show they put an emphasis on the black male, so.....
Mr. Tulip ummm wrinkle in time wasnt that good.i know it was made for kids but still
@@duckydarkstar38 😂😂😂😂😂
They were not “Young men” as many have called them. They were just boys.
Exactly. I noted the language also.
Amen! They were fucking BOYS. My own oldest son is 12..
I just could barely watch it.
It was so brutal. Especially Korey. All he fucking did was try to support his friend...and they sent a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD BOY to Riker's Island. I really almost had to shut it off several times.
And I am not even black or latino.
@@jessarose2288 Wow!!! I'm still hesitant about watching it
@@sugamama9444 I absolutely hope you DO...I just want to warn you ahead of time...it is very difficult to watch. Very difficult but very important.
@@jessarose2288 I definitely agree on the importance. I feel, however, that if most are watching this, that we all can get together and change the system of wickedness and hold all public servants accountable for their actions. Side note: stay on your children, conversate, indulge in their lives, make sure they have a relationship with God, as well as yourself. My kida are 25(male), 23(female), 21(male), 16(female), and 9(male). I can't even begin to imagine what this done to those families
She is so powerful, never stop doing your work sis!
And beautiful inside and out NO CAP
greenspan11111
who?
@@teresaamanfu7408 The wonderful individual being interviewed by Trevor of course.
She just needs to separate herself from Satan AKA Oprah Winfrey and then she'd be the second coming of ISIS herself.. 🖖🏾
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ava is such a visionary! I love and respect her for telling OUR stories, OUR way! ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Amen!
Amen!!
In South Africa we say: Amandla! Awethu!
Kung Conscience: that hoe, is as unethical as a hungry RAT.
King Conscience: she's more unethical than two, hungry rats.
Ava is an admirable woman.
ill call her whatever she wants too 😛🔥
And beautiful
ibezag0 YES. This is NEVER mentioned enough. The woman is FINE. I guess men don’t want to be accused of objectifying her in this era of #MeToo
Beautiful
She did good!
Ava DuVernay is a primary example of what good can come from creators telling black narratives in such a way that everyone of every race, religion and cultural background can view with understanding.
Well said
Amen.
AMEN! SO many untold stories because the primary story tellers didn't care to tell it: scared the world would "notice" their inhumanity; their callousness; their RACISM.... oh but now, we have "Social Justice Woman" and others. the revolution may NOT be televised but we will damn sure be able to SEE the reason for the revolution thanks to someone LIKE us telling OUR stories!
When we're permitted to tell OUR stories, the difference is clear!
That's because she doesn't portray white people as evil, like some black directors do. She isn't racist like them.
I think I speak for the people when I say Trevor and The Daily Show is a real gem on TH-cam.
-Josh Otusanya
Yes, but sometimes it is just too silly.
@@TheNotoriousKRP sometimes being a little light hearted is good. I love watching daily news. This isnt fox and friends and that's a step in the right direction
Just speak for yourself, nobody elected you.
Yes, Trevor is a real gem.
🤔.... a COMEDY show.....on a COMEDY channel.... is sometimes too silly...🤔
👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
All those officers, lawyers even the judge that convicted them should all go to jail! Its could pay back.
richard kennedy if I have the power to kill all of them I will no joke that shit messed the fuck up I was so bad watching the Netflix series
richard kennedy sad part is, they’ve lived their life!! So it really wouldn’t matter
No their children should
They already lived their best life so jail isn't enough but maybe a head on collision with something made of steel
And these are the people that brought children in this world that are now or soon will be in powerful positions with similar mindset.
Black Girl Magic! Continue to speak the truth.
We are Ebony, not "black". "Black" is a European originated word. We pre-date the word "black" by hundreds of thousands of years.
@Sizzle Wrap fuck you
@Sizzle Wrap whatever bitch
lol, I thought “Black Girl Magic” was used to capture and keep high quality White men who’ve attained status?
Maybe it’s become transitive and can be used however the viewer or admonisher of praise chooses, either way I remain confused.
Dominique Crutchfield true indeed..I always loved that name by the way..peace and blessings to you love...
I love her and the work she supplies to the world.
tamilynngsu01 old news nothing to see here move along
Queen sugar is awesome
W Towns God Bless you and yours.
What an extraordinary woman. Blown away
Incredibly articulate
I couldn’t stop crying through this. Watched all back to back. More and more I cried. I just hate what we as humans are capable of for our own agenda, and how we can reason through evil acts. I hate injustice; I deplore it. I pray every day that I never become so motivated by agenda and need, to end up destroying another life to do so. I don’t think I ever will. But this shows how easy it is to be obtuse to one’s actions.
Well said 👌🏾
@Linday Wiley I know this all to well, as a 37 year old Black man this hurt me very bad, I had police officers pointed guns at at 16-21 years old accused of theft put in police cars and taken to jail. It's almost a right of passage as a Black Male in America. I had a saying since I was 11, "My skin is my sin." When I 9 years old I told my mother and a good friend of mine that I will never see the age of 21, it's because of things like this. We're judge based on what we look like and the system does not care. It's the very same system for 400 years.
@@Knightboomer_559 black women are mistreated by the larger society and killed by black men :(
Terry I grew up in Baltimore and was privy to that discrimination but as a white person not affected by it. I used to drive my barbacks home after shift at 3am And I would take them home and more than not I would get pulled over. The cops would hassle my passenger but really not me. The cops would always assume I as a white girl in the hood was buying drugs. You’d think I’d get more shit for that. But no. My barback got harassed and treated like shit. Those fucking cops assumed us both in negative perception. But my black passenger got more harassment than me Its bullshit. Peoples perceptions have got to change. I hate ignorance.
Obtuse...damn girl you ain’t playin 🤙🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾✊🏾✊🏾
“making sure they separated their own criminal tendencies …”
I caught it, Brilliant!
Facts. "Crack Epidemic" vs the "Opoid Crisis"
Well that's racism in a nutshell. 100% PROJECTION.
@@camille9803 Yup.
Watch their interview with Ken Burns and his daughter. It's still heartbreaking to hear they are still struggling emotionally because they were robbed of their childhoods. No amount of money can get that back.
Yes remember seeing it on WTTW-11 and was just shocked and at same time, not surprised. #HowDoYouSee by #AvaDuVarney shock my core.

I LOVE this woman. She is such an incredible voice right now, which comes with a lot of responsibility, but she handles it with such grace. She has so much to say, and I love the way she says it. Such a vibrant talent.
not long enough segment to be honest, I wish they had more time to talk.
Watch the full documentary on Netflix
@@sandrad8640 Thanks I missed that.
Henroko check out her interview with the breakfast club crew... She covered quite a bit more
When i watched the documentary on central 5 I cried. This story is so painful
It was a sad case. I cried a lot for these kids.
Queen Che it’s very painful 😖
The story is fake.
These kids ran roughshod through the park beating people up. They beat the jogger too. Quality police work brought these miscreants to justice to serve the time they richly deserved. I’m just glad I left NYC so my tax dollars didn’t have to pay for their reward for being such thugs that night. They all acted in concert with Reyes. He did not act alone.
@@Scrantonman95 can somebody handle this uneducated RACIST? Cuz today I'm off
Queen Che you don’t handle them.... ignore. We will HANDLE them in the 2020 election!
If you still think the US is better than this series shows it, maybe you haven't looked honestly enough. The system is utterly broken in many places and knowing where it is off the rails is the first step of mending it.
The RICH WALK OVER EVERYONE THEY CANNOT USE NO INTEREST IN THE COUNTRY OR THE MAJORITY OF ITS INHABITANTS . JUST GET WORSE 45 DREGS. OF A HUMAN . + GOP.
I question whether this can be fixed or mended when we have the policing institutions holding one line and a good deal of society is pushing along another simultaneously. It see more and more evidence that there is a growing tendency in the public at large to be vocal and confrontational, enabled some by our current U.S. President who has shown his disdain for laws that pertain to his style of living. America is showing more and more anger that is not well directed and can spill into disruptions that twist reality into a mob rule scenario.
"The system isn't broken, it's fixed" Michael Che
just because false convictions happen does not mean that there's some chaos going on.
No country has an infallible governing system. Freedom of speech is one of our most important assets. It allows us to share ideas, speak against injustice, and hold others accountable. We have a frustrating road ahead, but there is light. Can you imagine how much worse it would be if we couldn't speak out against our corrupt leaders and support those that support us? Even if you like Trump, it would be horrifying if he was a dictator. At least we have the ability to comtinue improving our country.
Ava you did an amazing job telling their stories.
If you're acquitted or proved innocent, the charges should come off records. If you get arrested, what you are accused of will show up in large print and whether it was dismissed is in small print. Guilty until proven innocent it seems. I feel so bad for these boys, and every person wrongly accused of a crime
Guilty, *even if proven* innocent.
Ok white girl
Emmy Leke who cares?
@jon beatty Ok white boy
@@mikaelamilazzo5070 How many times has some random white girl felt bad on some website. How many black lives matter march have you been to?
The original TRUTH teller via Film. We are so blessed to have you in our lives.
the movie is still relevant sadly even today
more so today.... since we are living in a back to the 50's world.
So true
@@jazzyg5831 Yeah! Sure you are. ((rolls eyes)) Try talking to people who actually lived during that era. You have it GOOD.
This movie is not telling the truth. So in your mind it’s relevant to lies!!
THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES... NO JUSTICE NO PEACE. THANK GOD FOR AVA DUVERNAY!!
I see Ava, I press like before watching the interview.
Me too 🤣💪🏾💪🏾✊🏾💯♥️
stephen karmichael In many ways, you’re right. But in this context, I disagree. I think we are just grasping for air in the form of one person who’s doing a lot to make people see us as human.
I get it, I’m Black and I admit that in general Black people dress up dysfunction and call it culture. I’m completely against that! But I’m also acutely aware that where the justice system is concerned I’ll always have to be careful. I’m not trying to fight here, I just wish you could experience life with chocolate skin on.
I’m not saying every single day is horrible. It’s just that when we enter certain spaces we have to exercise extreme caution because there are people who simple cannot look at us and believe that we’re really human.
For example: As a black female I know that if I go get pregnant and drop out of high school without getting a diploma; I’m doomed to a life of poverty and cannot seriously blame white people for my stupidity. (Tons of Black people do that)
If I get educated and present myself as a decent citizen then I’ll get a good job and live a decent life.
BUT... if the black high school drop-out and the college graduate both get pulled over one night, if either of them even move their hands off the steering wheel, a cop who’s scared of ALL BLACK PEOPLE (even the decent, college educated ones who don’t look/dress like thugs) will panic and shoot. This poor officer may be white, grew up with limited interaction with Black folk and has heard his entire life that we’re ALL dangerous. So now he’s sent out to police these same folk he’s scared of; accidentally shoots one and now the entire world sees him as racist.
This long epistle is just an attempt to explain why some Black people will click the like button on anything involving someone like Ava DuVernay. Have a great day now.
I love this woman but I can't watch majority of her work. This interview got me teary eyed. My heart just cant take some things at this point.
It broke my heart, too. But I watch because I don''t want to turn a blind eye (& I DO have a blind eye, for real...no optic nerve) & I feel we HAVE to bear witness if we're going to change things.
as a black person I feel mentally and physically drained when will we ever get justice and equality in this world
@@alexisf22 I really thought we were making progress, & then Obama got eletcted. All the racists lost their minds, blew their cover, & crawled out of the woodwork!! I Obama was gonna have to walk a tightrope if we were ever going to have another President of color, & I think he did a pretty good job of it, myself. I put him right up there w/JFK & Jimmy Carter! Those are the 3 best Presidents in my lifetime. This one is the WORST! KEEP THE FAITH & DON'T LOSE HEART!!
@Nora Kong I feel the same way. I have to take my time and watch it little by little because it makes my heart sick.
I haven't finished yet. I can only take it in small doses.
Man that series had me crying my eyes out. Two 👍👍 way up
Excellent interview! This entire case was a racist set up from the beginning. These young men were horribly mistreated. How do we fix this?
The law enforcement institutions in our country are heavily infiltrated by white supremacist ghost skins. Rooting them out would he a good start. Then add some accountability with body cams that don't turn off and independent prosecutors.
Cougar Lady1 well for starters they should Be paid. The larger issue of reforming the system is a looooonnnnggggg battle ahead. But for right now the only sort of justice these men can have it at least now be thrown back into society in poverty like so many ex “felons”
How about no white police officers?
If you dont like, or scared of this idea; you are racist.
@@brokenking5044 Better yet, how about No white cop's working in all black neighborhoods, and cities were the majority is blacks. Because right now I've noticed where more blacks is, the majority of the cops is white, and where the majority of whites is there are bigger numbers of black cops. I truly believe that they intentionally put black cops in white neighborhoods and communities just so black cops don't get in the way of white cop's unlawful deeds in blacks neighborhoods and communities. Also, the few black cops they do allow to work in black neighborhoods and communities, the majority of them be older black male cops and with the majority of them being younger black female cops; and they more than often never pair either of them together, they're mostly always paired with white cops. I always WATCH everything, as well as PRAY. I fear nothing, just watch, so that my judging of what is going on won't be a lie.
@@brokenking5044 you know black officers do the same thing right like it's not a race thing its more of cops in general thing
The real question is how many other men were victims of Linda Fairstein. I hope they all come forward. I just know there are more.
@Guy Meister trolls gotta troll...Am I right?
There, I fed you. Go back under the bridge.
@Guy Meister I already fed you once. Now you’re just being greedy.
It was heart wrenching I cried, I had to fast forward certain scenes because it was too hard for me to watch. I have teens boys and the mother in me wanted to prevent and protect those boys so badly. God bless those boys that are now men. God bless those who were able to tell their truth to the world.
For the korey episode I couldn’t watch. My heart hurt so bad. I just wanted to reach into the screen and hug him.. that kid did an excellent job
Thank you Ava
She did a PHENOMENAL job retelling that story to my generation. At times it was a tough watch, but a story i believe we need to see. Thank you Ms DuVernay, for opening the eyes of many and shedding light upon one of the many injustices that has happened to black and brown people in the history of our country.
Santana’s father reminded me so much of my dad which made it somewhat personal for me & i related so much to him going through it. Those men deserve way more than what they got, that’s time they can never get back.
Dopest dreads in the business
Love her hair. She was one of the people that inspired me to loc my hair.

Brilliant, "when They see us"
She’s amazing , Trevor is just a great interviewer!
I lived this nightmare truth for hundreds of our sons over 20 years as a juvenile court defense attorney. Still happening. We have to do better as a society and a village. Thank you Ava! You rock!!
Much RESPECT to Ms Ava D! Given the voiceless a Voice. Blessings
I don't think I would have watched had it not been for this interview. Great job!
Personally I could only watch 4 minutes cause this woman is beyond boring.
Such an impressive force! When They See Us is a gift. We can choose to do more to see each other & understand the devastating impact our indifference & silence has on those who are the most vulnerable. Ms. DuVernay is gifted story teller & the are & compassion she has is breathtaking. 💕
Ava Duvernay did a wonderfull job on this series!
Highlighted a very important topic.
This interview is amazing both the questions by Trevor and Ava!
Love her. We need more women like that yin this world.
So true. I remembered Oprah giving the Central Park victim a voice on show many years ago although she said she could not remember nothing about her attack. I then waited patiently for Oprah to give them the opportunity to tell their story when they were vindicated but I can't recall her doing so. Much love and admiration for Ava. This terrible stain on the NY criminal system needed to be exposed for what they did to those children spearheaded by Fairstein and her criminal gang.
She is absolutely phenomenal. I've made it through episode 1. I'll try to watch the rest.
MS. AVA DuVERNAY. IF YOU SEE THESE WORDS PLEASE KNOW I SEND YOU THE HIGHEST OF RESPECT QUEEN. YOU ARE NOT ONLY A MASTER AT YOUR CRAFT, BUT YOU DO DIVE INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE PAINFUL REFLECTIONS OF OUR COLLECTIVE AFRICAN AMERICAN/AMERICAN HISTORY WITH BOTH A RAW REALNESS AS WELL AS WITH HUMANITY AND TENDERNESS. HUMANIZING OURSELVES IS THE SUBTLE NEXT LEVEL WORK THAT WE **ALL** MUST MAKE AND TAKE THE TIME TO DO.
I WATCHED '13TH', 'A WRINKLE IN TIME', 'SELMA', AND NOW THE FIRST PART OF YOUR SERIES, 'WHEN THEY SEE US'... YOU DEAR ARE SO HUMBLE TO BE SO WILDLY TALENTED. FROM THE LIGHTING CHOICES, THE CAMERA TECHNIQUES, TO THE MUSIC, AND FASHION SELECTIONS... I TIP MY HAT AND HOPE TO ONE DAY SHAKE YOUR HAND. YOU ARE A TRUE INSPIRATION.
THANK YOU TREVOR NOAH FOR FEATURING THIS GODDESS ON EARTH! RESPECT.
I love that she protected her actors' mental health. I have had an emotional time trying to watch it, I couldn't imagine being on set trying to bring the story life knowing that it is based in someone's real life and not fiction. I hate that those boys had their childhood stripped from them. There is not way to give them or their family those years back.
from the outside looking in, I'd never want to live in the us, Trevor is a bigger south African than me
Me too... From France
otis The music I’m Argentinian (brown, Latina) and even with our shitty economy I wouldn’t wanna live there either! You never know if some pysco is gonna kill you, police is gonna rape you, etc
otis The music are you a black in South Africa?
Manuelita it really depends on where you live but honestly it’s not that bad
The Haitian Way yeah im a black South African
This was the best interview in regards to the film!
All I can say is thanks for this special project our self-education is "KEY". But when you don't know what you should know. I am so grateful for this awareness. Thanks for giving them a NAME and REAL FACE..... Korey, Yusuf

I binge watched this 4 part movie yesterday and I cried so much for those boys and their families. You feel connected. Thank you Ava for bringing these stories back to us. See you at the Emmy's!
And this is a messed up story but it's cool how later on they get the help they need it 💯
True Black Knight ... only by God’s Grace And Divine Intervention!🙌🏿 Thank you Jesus🙏🏾❤️
Ava DuVernay is absolutely AMAZING!!!
ava : you have to call me social justice woman
trevor : i'll call you whatever you want🔥🐱👤
deep
I peeped that, and the look he gave her too 😉
God bless Ava for putting this core information out there for the public to watch and truly absorb. My heart is broken for these gentlemen. They AND their families were robbed of the life the should have had. I admire people like Ava who’s life efforts are spent shining a light on events like this. I admire that she recognizes that she doesn’t fit in a box others want to put her in. You have my support!!
Try looking at the actual information. She's a liar
As a Brooklynite who was around the same age as those young brothers at the time, it hit close to home for me. The incident was in my city and the youth charged were only 2 to 3 years younger which showed me that it could've been me or my friends. I had the privilege of being in the audience when attorneys C. Vernon Mason and Alton Maddox were informing the Black public of what was happening to these young men. I'm thankful to God that these brothers came through this ordeal. I'm also thankful for the people who led the rallying cry against the attack on these brothers. It's a shame when attorneys, ministers, reverends and other figures speak out against injustice like the Central Park 5 (which they diligently did), they immediately came under fire by media, politicians and private citizens. We have to keep working because in the 21st century, this nonsense is continuing among Black people in America.
It always reminded me of the Scarborough boys trails
Daniel Avila Do you mean the Scottsboro Boys? If so, yes there are amazing similarities.
kmross73 yeah it was autocorrect
Ava is so talented. It was so difficult to watch. But I’m so glad that these young men got their stories out. They were finally heard
I cried my eyes out.. Especially on the last episode about Korey Wise...
finished it last night and it's really hard to watch. respect to the survivors!
Yessss..another hit for sure. AMAZING...what an awesome movie..sad..heartfelt..I'm still numb after watching...this is a must see...
Such a deep story..
A STORY THAT KEEPS HAPPENING I WONDER WHY.SILENT BY STANDERS
Tears just watching her explain this hurtful world we live in
Her work conveys such empathy and truth it resonates Deeply with my Soul.It literally gave me a better understanding of what they see when they see us.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Queen Ava. So Poised. So Striking. So Wise. Very maternal
not maternal...SHE IS regal.
MEN seem to struggle with female power without labeling it MATERNAL ( and linked to a phallus)
do better
@@azureavocado5195 if I say she's Maternal then she's Maternal. It's not up for discussion
Ava's storytelling through this film is nothing short of brilliant. If it were a book, it would be Pulitzer material. Thank goodness for people like her.
She is absolutely breathtaking in so many ways and everything she creates is pure magic. Thank you so much for everything!
The only thing that shocks people about the "injustice system" is that those who have done these crimes against innocent people are never held accountable! THEREFORE THERE'S SYSTEMATIC RACISM IN THE INJUSTICE SYSTEM AND YET NOT ONE WHITE HAS BEEN REMOVED, PUNISHED OR CHARGED!
Start with that maniac in the white house!
I’m watching it now. Part one. So far it’s so upsetting to watch. So many ways they were mistreated. Completely racial. The system is broken. I’m crying.
The way they told story was the most heart breaking all this brother wanted to do was protect his friend .
And his friend mom never showed him or his mom do respect....this brother suffered for just agreeing to go with his friend name was never even on the list .
Rochean Spencer so true. It’s sad very sad. Praying that this will show our young men not to follow but to lead. Our Black and Brown men have targets on their backs and that’s the sad part. As for the prosecution. That woman knew they were framed but she wanted the fame. All of the players need to do jail time for causing these kids to lose so much. Sorry I’m long winded. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
She is simply amazing. Well spoken, aware, smart as hell. Her series is absolutely fantastic. I have nothing but respect for her and her fantastic work!
Amazing work including counselors on the set. Excellent film also.
Ava you are brilliant, sister! I will always support you!!💯
Thank you Ava for this series. As hard, as heart-wrenching, as nauseating as this series has been to watch and stomach, it was the Exact same feelings as when it actually happened. I remember me and my friends racking our brains at the time, trying to figure out what was missing and what could be done! It's absolutely horrible and I thank Ava so much for telling this story in the realest, rawest way. There was another documentary done a few years earlier by a journalist from the NY Times. I'm so thankful for the daughter and her father who were genuine in all they did towards this cause and that they did it brilliantly. And Ava added that much more dimension and life to the many facets that were so politely brushed under the rug previously. Thank you Ava😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤thank you. Praise God for His saving grace for these 5 men. I cannot tell you how happy I am and I only PRAY that the rest of their 30+ years of life are so full of happiness and peace mentally, spiritually, emotionally and literally! Thank you Trevor, as Always❤❤❤❤❤
Why are all of Linda Farstein’s cases NOT being reviewed for prosecutorial misconduct?!
Ashley K. Statue of limitations
It looks like a really good mini-series, and my mum said it was very well made and acted. I live in NZ and she remembers this case, i dont, but i know about it and just like the mini-series "Unbelievable", i want to watch it, but im not sure im gonna be able to handle the anger and frustration and sadness itll bring out my knowing these are true stories and that these two stories show people who were just completely shit on by everyone except a few dedicated people. Im thinking ill just end up throwing my laptop at the wall and yelling at the screen a lot if i watch them.
It's shit, full of of outright lies.
I watched all 4 parts, what an experience. Ava you did a phenomenal job capturing every aspect. I can’t imagine actually living it because simply watching it was absolutely heartbreaking.
Ava DuVernay, THANK YOU!
Can't wait to watch this series.
This woman is inspiring... Lost for words. Necessary work and so glad we have someone with integrity telling these stories
OMG! Ava DuVernay did that! This mini-series is so powerful and eye-opening! I will never forget these men and what they went through.
I wonder if 45 would ever meet those men in a room ALONE to apologize to them???
Of course not. He never admits he's wrong about anything.
i bet if they would invite trump to lunch and talk about it, his "bonespurs" would emidiatly came up...
Hell no he wouldnt
Never.
@Libras In Space I don't about that. I believe it's in too deep
This shoud be a case study for all who want to enter lawenforcment or interpretation aka lawyer or judge
I bet it will be. It should be
always brilliant!! thank you Ava
This series broke my heart - such a travesty of justice. But these young men survived. Thanks to Miss Ava DuVernay for bringing this story back to our collective consciousness. The CONTINUING CRIME is that this is not at all isolated. Black boys and men have been railroaded by the system as long as we have been on this continent and it's systemic, from the rooter to the tooter...
She is awesome, her awareness and accoutnability in telling and portraying the story...brilliant!
Iam so intrigued and inspired by this woman. Not only is she breath takingly beautiful she is sooooo elegant and articulate and everything I want my future self to aspire to be like ❤️❤️ God created this woman for a reason!
Same she is such a inspiration. ♡
Sad true story but very enlightening series...
Turning tables is the only way to get folks to get a clear perspective.
I watched "when they see us". The films are perfectly directed and it touched me deeply. Why it touched me, I don't know.
?? Why wouldn't you know? Was it weird for you to see young black males as human beings?
If it touched you, that's enough, the rest will come. Change begins like that sometimes.
Selma..13th....When They See Us...this woman is SO talented. Fav part of her directing this series...time lapse with a character and his father. And the day dreaming sequences of Korey in his cell with his gf.
Ava is one of the most incredible, intelligent, and beautiful women I have ever seen working in Hollywood. Her artistry and vision are very special for the voice of black Americans. I see awards and her being on the right side of history in this woman's future. She is shining!
That movie shows a day in the life of a minority in the criminal justice system. It's usual business for America's criminal injustice system.
Ava, you did a remarkable piece of work. When They See Us is POWERFUL!!! Bravo!!! 👏🏿👏🏿
"This work is important, and I can do it... and I do it well". Always inspired when this woman is on-screen!
I know this sounds crazy but I wish I was there to fight along side Korey....The whole thing was sad but Korey part had me furious.

Sad truth.
Awesome show 💟♥️👏♥️👏🤷🏼♀️
God bless Ava for having the courage to tell and show these stories. Great interview questions as well!! 👏🏾👏🏾

I watched the series and barely made it through part 1 😓
Shenel Crooke same!!! So heart wrenching.
