Just Mercy

Just Mercy, as a biographical crime drama, primarily evokes strong feelings of Empathy as audiences connect deeply with the plight of those wrongly condemned and the systemic injustices they face. This is closely followed by Sadness over the profound suffering and unfairness depicted, and Anger at the blatant racism, corruption, and legal maneuvering that obstruct justice.

The narrative also elicits a Disturbing awareness of the harsh realities of the justice system and a lingering Melancholy reflecting on the deep-seated societal issues. Moments of Relief and Satisfaction emerge as small victories are achieved in the arduous pursuit of truth and freedom.
