When They See Us

Based on a true story, When They See Us, is a movie about how minors don’t belong in the criminal justice system. Young people's brains are still developing, which makes the formal justice system especially hard on them. They often struggle to understand their rights, handle the pressure of a courtroom, or push back when authority figures lean on them. A criminal justice system designed for adults around conflict and punishment, hinders a young person’s development and permanently undermine their rehabilitation. That's why alternatives focused on support and rehabilitation matter. Watch the movie trailer on YouTube: When They See Us: Limited Series | Teaser [HD] | Netflix
