NYC and Filmmaker Ken Burns In Tug o' War Over Unreleased Rape Documentary Footage
LatestNew York City wants Ken Burns to give up unreleased footage from The Central Park Five, his most recent documentary about five men who were imprisoned but eventually exonerated for allegedly raping a woman in Central Park, and it’s not because officials think they deserve an advance screening; the city hopes it can find something in the filmed interviews to help defend itself against multi-million dollar federal lawsuits filed by the men who were wrongfully accused.
