Just Mercy Michael B. Jordan is a "real life" superhero in courtroom drama 

Just Mercy Michael B. Jordan is a "real life" superhero in courtroom drama "Just Mercy" In this video Michael B. Jordan discusses how this film "Just Mercy" is a tool to make attorney Bryan Stevensons job easier...moderated by journalist, best-selling author and professor, Michael Eric Dyson with the film's award-winning author and criminal justice attorney Bryan Stevenson and Warner Bros programming executive Niija Kuykendall at MVAAFF 2019.
A powerful and thought-provoking true-story, "Just Mercy" follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan might have had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Larson.) One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Foxx,) who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the only testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings and overt and unabashed racism as he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds-and the system-stacked against them.
