Saturday Cinema: Just Mercy (PG-13)

Join us at the Miller Branch as we celebrate Black History Month with the showing of Just Mercy. A powerful and thought-provoking true story follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson and his history-making battle for justice. After graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley. One of his first and most incendiary cases is that of Walter McMillian. Rated PG-13; for thematic content including some racial epithets. 2 hours 16 minutes
