The Trailer for Ava DuVernay's Central Park Five Series When They See Us Is Deeply Unsettling

The official trailer for Ava DuVernay's limited series When They See Us has arrived, and fair warning, it will stay with you for a while.

The gripping drama tackles the notorious case of five teenagers of color who were wrongfully accused of the rape and attempted murder of a white female jogger in New York City. In the harrowing trailer, Harlem natives Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise -- dubbed the Central Park Five -- face the daunting reality that they will probably go to jail for a crime they didn't commit. In reality, all five were convicted and sentenced to between five and 15 years in prison.
