The Movie Zone - Intermission Podcast - Kerry Myers and Scott Budnick, 'Just Mercy' discussion

In Just Mercy, lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan) takes on the case of Walter McMillian (Jamie Foxx), who is sentenced to die for murder despite evidence proving his innocence. In the years that follow, Stevenson encounters racism and legal maneuverings as he fights for McMillian's life. In conjunction with the movie's release, Scott Budnick and Kerry Myers joined 'The Movie Zone' in studio while in town for a special screening with the Utah Jazz. Scott is the executive producer of the film and CEO of One Community, a film, TV, and new media company that focuses on creating content that effects positive social change. On behalf of Represent Justice, Kerry Myers also serves as the deputy director of the nonprofit Louisiana Parole Project. In April 1990, Kerry was wrongfully sentenced to life without parole for a crime he did not commit. After fighting for nearly three decades to establish his innocence, he was unanimously recommended for commutation and immediate release in September 2013 but was not actually released until December 2016.
