18+Season 1
What if all boys were created equal?
Synopsis
When They See Us — Season 1, all four parts to watch online on iFILM. This is the story of five boys from Harlem and a crime they did not commit.
Spring 1989: after a woman is attacked while jogging through Central Park, police arrest five teenagers of color and interrogate them through the night. Confessions are signed under pressure, without proper legal counsel. Each episode tracks a different arc — the coerced admissions, the courtroom fight, the years behind bars, and finally Korey Wise, who was sixteen when he entered the adult prison system and stayed longer than any of the others.
Ava DuVernay wrote and directed all four parts as a family portrait first, a legal drama second. Stream When They See Us Season 1 online on iFILM.
