Apple Streams ‘Just Mercy’ Film Starring Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx

· Andrew Orr · Link

Still from Just Mercy, a film starring Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx.

Apple is making “Just Mercy” available to stream free for customers. Based on a true story, it stars Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx.

The Warner Bros. film is based on a true-story of a young lawyer who decides to use his Harvard law degree in Alabama to fight against racial inequality in the context of those wrongly convicted of crimes (free streaming for “Just Mercy” may just be in the US).

A good film recommendation for the weekend.
