Cannes 2012: Ken Burns' 'Central Park Five' explores famous crime

?The Central Park Five,? a devastating new documentary directed by Ken Burns, David McMahon and Sarah Burns that is premiering out of competition at Cannes, examines the truth around the savage beating and rape of a New York jogger. Five black and Latino teenagers confessed and served prison sentences ranging from almost seven to 13 years. Compelling new evidence, including an ironclad confession by the actual rapist, led a New York Supreme Court justice to vacate the sentences of those teenagers in 2002. Using extensive interviews with the five men and their families, the film shows exactly how this disturbing miscarriage of justice happened.
