The movie Just Mercy, rated PG-13, is a powerful and thought-provoking true story that follows the journey of a young lawyer named Bryan Stevenson and his groundbreaking fight for justice. Despite having many lucrative job offers after graduating from Harvard, Bryan chooses to move to Alabama to defend those who have been wrongly accused or did not receive proper representation, with the help of local advocate Eva Ansley. One of his first and most controversial cases involves Walter McMillian.
