• Plot: In 1989, five black and Latino teenagers from Harlem were arrested and later convicted of raping a white woman in New York City's Central Park. They spent between 6 and 13 years in prison before a serial rapist confessed that he alone had committed the crime, leading to their convictions being overturned. Set against a backdrop of a decaying city beset by violence and racial tension, The Central Park Five tells the story of that horrific crime, the rush to judgment by the police, a media clamoring for sensational stories and an outraged public, and the five lives upended by this miscarriage of justice. ; ; Special Bonus Features include... ; Interview with the filmakers: ; Behind the Scenes ; Making The Film - The filmmakers discuss the process of making . ; A New York Wilding - A look at New York City in the late 1980s. ; The Family Business - Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon on working together. ; Subpoena - New York City strikes back. ; ; After The Central Park Five ; Interviews with Raymond Santana, Korey Wide, Yusef Salaam, Kevin Richardson ;
