When five teenagers were wrongfully convicted of raping a woman in New York in 1989, the case was propelled into the public conscious. A subsequent documentary from acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns added to the conversation. Now, the highest rated show on Netflix in the US, 鈥榃hen They See Us鈥�, has given yet more fresh light with former prosecutor turned author Linda Fairstein losing the backing of her publisher as a result of the show. Critic Eddie Harrison and former civil rights activist Candace Allen discuss whether this is a turning point in the power of drama.
