JUST MERCY by Destin Daniel Cretton, starring Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx, The ballots have been tallied and the Audience Award for Best Feature at the 55th Chicago International Film Festival was awarded to Destin Daniel Cretton’s true story Just Mercy. The film chronicles young lawyer Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan) and his history-making battles for justice in Alabama. Stevenson refuses to back down as he fights a legal system without mercy stacked against him and his clients at every turn. One of his first, and most incendiary, cases is that of Walter McMillian (Jamie Foxx), a man whose clear innocence means nothing to the corrupt and compassionless forces Stevenson doggedly takes on.
