Just Mercy movie review

Can you imagine that you were wrongly accused of a crime and you went to jail because of it? I know, God forbid!! But that is the storyline of this movie. It is about a true life event that happened to Walter Mcmillian in the 1980s.
    Walter Mcmillian (Jamie Foxx) was wrongfully accused of murdering a white teenage girl in Alabama during the 1980s and he was sent to death row in jail. Many lawyers had tried to help him get a retrial because there was no solid evidence to prove that he was guilty of  the crime but all to no avail.
Then he met Bryan Stevenson (Michael B Jordan) a young graduate from Harvard university with the passion to save innocent prisoners from death row with the help of his organisation Equal Juatice Initiative.   Will Bryan be able to get Justice for Walter and take him home to his family? Or does Walter die because of a crime he did not commit?

This movie is heart touching and it arouses sympathy from the audience especially because it is based on a true life story.  8n the past, the justice system I  america was biased and crooked especially to African Americans.  Even till today innocent people still find themselves 8n hail all over the world. The story of Walter reminds me of Joseph in the Bible when he went to jail because of potiphar's wife. Joseph was in prison for so long but he did not lose hope or faith in God and God did not disappoint him. The God that brought Joseph out of the priaon in a big way is still alive today. Like Walter or Bryan you might not know who to trust. The only one that you can really trust is God. Men may fail you but God never fails if you trust in him. Trust God today and he will turn your sorrows to joy and your weeping to laughter in Jesus name. Amen.

That is all for now guys. God loves you so much. Trust in him today and all will be well. Have a blessed week!!
