Summary: Ken Burns’ latest documentary, The Central Park Five, is centered around the story of five men who were arrested and convicted of assault and rape in 1989 for an attack on a jogger in Central Park. The five men were innocent and were freed in 2002 when a convicted rapist and murderer confessed to the crime. Filmmaker Ken Burns and film contributor Milos Stehlik join us to discuss the film.
