Khairul rating: 4/5 .I just watched this film today. The focus of this movie was on Ruben 'Hurricane' Carter's case, which put him for life imprisonment for a crime that he didn't commit. In the movie, Ruben was 50 years old man and he had served time behind the bars for 20 years. He personally asked his wife Mae to divorce him, because he can't bear the pain of wanting to be with his beautiful wife and daughter.
"I do that by not allowing myself to want or to need anything... I'm free in here because there's nothing I want out there." -The Hurricane 1999-
When he's about to give up hope, a young man named Lesra Martin who became interested with Carter's life after reading his autobiography together with his Canadian foster family, decided to commit themselves to Carter's case and proved his innocence.
This is indeed a very moving story that will teach us about humanity, fight against prejudism, racism and corruption. Sometimes we do feel like losing hope in humanity, but never lose hope in God's mercy. Someway, somehow, He will help us.
