"When you incarcerate one person, you incarcerate their family, you incarcerate their community," says Ava Duvernay (@ava), director of @WhenTheySeeUs, a new Netflix series about the devastating Central Park Five case. "We're incarcerating whole generations of people." https://t.co/Vv7DsnCCEg — PolitiTweet.org

The Central Park Five case was "a lightning rod" for politicized rhetoric in the '80s and '90s, says @ava, director of @WhenTheySeeUs. The widespread use of terms like superpredator "had real-world effects in terms of the way that we see Black and brown people in this country." https://t.co/19aozNU54X — PolitiTweet.org

Ava Duvernay (@ava) says the title of her new series is meant to center people's humanity. "They are not the Central Park Five," she says. That was "a political moniker" that "allowed them to be seen as a gang … not as real boys with real families, memories, hopes." https://t.co/jYqxJHrnFx — PolitiTweet.org
