CCR is proud to partner with Maysles Cinema for the Harlem Premiere of The Central Park 5, a riveting documentary that tells the untold story of five teenagers from Harlem who were convicted, and later exonerated, in the racially charged 1989 Central Park jogger rape case. The five young men each spent between 6 and 13 years in prison before a shocking confession from a serial rapist and DNA evidence proved their innocence.

Set against a backdrop of a decaying city beset by violence and racial tension, The Central Park 5 tells the story of how five lives were upended byt he rush to judgment by police, a sensationalist media and a devastating miscarriage of justice. Click here to view the film trailer.
