Book Group – movie night

Friday, February 17 at 7 pm (Note the time change) Video night: "Just Mercy"

Join us for a movie. There’s no book to read this month.

A powerful true story that follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Michael B Jordan) and his battle for justice as he defends Walter McMillian (Jamie Foxx) who is sentenced to death despite evidence proving his innocence. Stevenson's fight for justice for McMillian provides the heart of the narrative to Just Mercy, but the film lays bare the horrifying fact that this tragic story is no one-off. McMillian's case is just one example of the systemic racial bias that ran rife through America's justice system. More than 30 years later, Stevenson is still fighting.
