YUSEF SALAAM
Yusef Salaam was one of five black and
Latino teenagers from Harlem who in 1989 were arrested and later
convicted of brutally beating and raping a white woman in New York
City’s Central Park. New York Mayor Ed Koch called it the “crime of the
century” and it remains to date one of the biggest media stories of our
time. The five 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 FIVE documentary tells the story of
how five lives were upended by the rush to judgment by police, a
sensationalist media and a devastating miscarriage of justice.
