Where Did Movies Go?
By: Jane O’Neil, Staff Writer
If you’re like me, then before pandemic took the world, you paid some attention to what films were supposed to have been released in 2020. However, for many of these major motion pictures and other films of excitement such as the new “Dune” remake by Denis Villaneuve or “The French Dispatch” by Wes Anderson, the release dates have been pushed far into 2021 for theatrical and digital release. But, even so, a number of films were released in 2020 that didn’t get quite as much spotlight as they deserve.
When They See Us Film Screening
On Feb. 11, the Black Student Alliance (BSA) helped host the fourth screening of the docuseries, When They See Us. BSA President Eryn Rideout coordinated with the mayor’s office along with other organizations around Denver about this series around three months ago. When They See Us is a Netflix docuseries that was released May 31, 2019 about the Central Park Five who were accused and wrongfully convicted of the assault and rape of a jogger. The story of the five spans over a quarter of a century, from when the teens are first questioned about the incident in spring 1989 to their exoneration in 2002 to the settlement reached with the city of New York in 2014.
