Overview

On June 17, 1966, two black men strode into the Lafayette Grill in Paterson, New Jersey, and shot three people to death. Rubin Carter and John Artis were not those men -- but they were convicted of the murders in a highly publicized and racially charged trial. After two decades in prison for crimes he didn't commit, Rubin Carter finally won his freedom. Hurricane is that story, at once a tale of jailhouse redemption, a compelling account of a David vs. Goliath court fight, and a revealing history of one of the most controversial episodes in the long saga of civil rights in America.
