Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Central Park Five (2012)

Documentary about the teens wrongfully arrested for the 1989 "Central Park Jogger" assault.

It’s a wretched story with the only “black” and “white” being the skin colors of those involved. Too bad the movie feels like it doesn’t go deep enough -- probably because it’s so one-sided. Getting one of the prosecutors or police involved in the case as a talking head would’ve turned this into something truly riveting and meaningful.
