When They See Us is directed and co-written by Ava DuVernay and tells the story of the five teens - four African-American and one Hispanic - who were convicted of the rape and attempted murder of a white woman in New York City’s Central Park on the night of April 19, 1989.
Known as 'the Central Park Five', the youths served years behind bars until their convictions were ultimately vacated in 2002 after Matias Reyes, already serving a life sentence for rape and murder, confessed to the crime.
Farmiga stars as the lead prosecutor in the case who secured guilty verdicts for all five over the course of two trials in 1990.
