I really like true stories and after seeing this film I could really feel the pain of what happened to Brian Banks. Brian Banks (Aldis Hodge) was Long Beach High School football player whose dream was to join the NFL. This was a sure possibility until he met the wrong girl at school.

Timing is everything – and, unfortunately, the release of this redemption story coincides occurs at a time when #MeToo and documented incidents of sexual assault dominate the news feed. At Polytechnic High School in Long Beach in 2002, teenage Brian Banks (Aldis Hodge) was a linebacker on the prestigious Jackrabbit team with an assured scholarship to the University of Southern California.

By telling the story of one innocent man exonerated, this biopic educates film-goers about the daunting and rewarding work of the California Innocence Project and its sisters across the country. em>Brian Banks satisfies viewers’ needs to know about quiet heroes, in and out of the juvenile court, on and off the football field.
