The film, which opens in limited release in New York Friday, details the story behind the ‘Central Park Jogger’ assault and rape case which nearly left a young woman dead on April 19, 1989.
The Central Park Five focuses on the five black and Latino teens who were convicted of the crime, served their sentences but were later exonerated after the real rapist came forward in 2002. Burns shares credit on his latest project with his daughter Sarah and her husband filmmaker David McMahon.
