With "The Central Park Five," Sarah Burns enters the filmmaking scene,
accepting the challenge of a documentary concentrating on a monumental
perversion of justice. Of course, Burns has a few aces up her sleeve,
bringing in husband David McMahon and father Ken Burns (the man behind

"The Dust Bowl") to co-direct, joining the family business as a seeker

but the story is unforgettable, detailing a nightmare scenario for five
Harlem teenagers facing hard prison time and the condemnation of
America for a crime they didn't commit. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
