The Central Park five [videorecording] / by Black, Angela.; Burns, Ken,1953-; Burns, Sarah,1982-; Butts, Calvin O.; McCray, Antron.; McMahon, David.; Richardson, Kevin.; Savini, Anthony.; Squires, Buddy.; Wamble, Doug.; Wise, Kharey.; Florentine Films.; PBS Distribution (Firm); WETA-TV (Television station : Washington, D.C.);
Cinematography by Buddy Squires with Anthony Savini ; edited by Michael Levine ; original music by Doug Wamble.With Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Kharey Wise, Angela Black, Calvin O. Butts III.In April 1989, Trisha Meili, a 28-year-old investment banker, was raped and savagely beaten while jogging in the park. The shocking crime came in a city already known, as one interviewee describes it, as "the capital of racial violence," and media, politicians, cops, ordinary citizens, and everyone else demanded that whoever was responsible be brought to justice immediately, if not sooner. And although there were dozens of other black and Latino youths "wilding" (i.e., threatening and/or attacking others) in the park that night, only teenagers Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, and Korey Wise, all of whom were interviewed for this film, were ultimately arrested and convicted, based on confessions to the police who interrogated them. All five went to jail, serving between 6 and 13 years while the district attorney's office congratulated itself on a job well done. But the confessions, portions of which we see in file footage, were bogus. If not actually coerced, they were certainly the products of five scared, confused, suggestible youths willing to say almost anything simply so they could go home.E.DVD ; English 5.1 surround ; 2.0 stereo ; widescreen presentation.
