ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson recounts his experiences as a lawyer defending marginalized individuals in the American justice system. The book follows Stevenson's early career and his work with the Southern Prisoners Defense Committee. He tells the story of Walter McMillian, a Black man wrongly convicted of murder, and Stevenson's fight to prove his innocence.

The narrative explores themes of racial bias, poverty, and injustice within the legal system. Stevenson challenges the prevailing attitudes toward the poor and people of color, advocating for compassion and mercy in the face of systemic failures. The book details the challenges and setbacks Stevenson faces as he navigates a flawed and often discriminatory system.
