A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson

Just Mercy is a powerful and thought-provoking true story about the Equal Justice Initiative, the people it represents, and the importance of confronting injustice.
Bryan Stevenson monologue via JustMercy.EJI.org:

Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a nonprofit law office in Montgomery, Alabama, dedicated to defending the poor, the incarcerated, and the wrongly condemned.
