'Just Mercy' - a film based on the real life efforts of Bryan Stevenson - dives into the need for just representation for those wrongfully treated or accused by the justice system. Appropriately timed, writer and director Destin Daniel Cretton brings to light the account of one man's journey to justice and the people touched along the way. Serving as a springboard in our current climate and conversation, 'Just Mercy' allows the audience a glimpse into the current struggle of those underprivileged either based on ethnicity or socioeconomic status. 

Having grown up in the suburbs and rural South, we want to lean into the awkward conversations, difficult circumstances, complex issues, and the rawness of the plight facing minorities in our lifetime. We're by no means experts and we have a lot to learn - but we hope to walk with our brothers and sisters who are not like us in an effort to love and understand what they face every day.

While we don't have to agree on the solution, the problem is clear and we must stand for those who have been burdened with fear and hate on both sides of this complex issue.
