Michael B. Jordan gets a shock to the system visiting death row for the first time in the new trailer for “Just Mercy,” setting him on a journey to fight for the rights of inmates who are just like him but have been wrongly convicted.
“The first time I visited death row, I wasn’t expecting to meet somebody the same age as me, from a neighborhood just like ours. Could’ve been me, mama,” Jordan says in the trailer’s opening moments.
“Just Mercy” is based on the true-life story of civil rights defense lawyer and activist Bryan Stevenson and follows a young Stevenson (Jordan) as he fights to defend and free those wrongly convicted of crimes with the support of local advocate Eva Ansley (Brie Larson).
