'Just Mercy' free to rent on Microsoft Store to raise awareness of systemic racism

A powerful and thoughtprovoking true story, "Merely Mercy" follows young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Jordan) and his history-making boxing for justice. Later graduating from Harvard, Bryan had his pick of lucrative jobs. Instead, he heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or who were not afforded proper representation, with the back up of local abet Eva Ansley (Larson). One of his beginning, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Foxx), who, in 1987, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 18-yr-one-time girl, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and the fact that the simply testimony against him came from a criminal with a motive to lie. In the years that follow, Bryan becomes embroiled in a labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings and overt and unabashed racism equally he fights for Walter, and others like him, with the odds—and the system—stacked against them.

Just Mercy is vailable to rent for complimentary for 25 more days at the fourth dimension of this writing.
