Doing this film for my English assignment.

I need to become a secondary character and write a monologue based on the film's representation of Rubin Carter. I'm not asking for help or anything but if anybody has some suggestions, I'd like to here them.

I'm not expecting any suggestions though, since this board isn't exactly popular.

Your secondary character should comment on how this film completely manipulates the truth about Rubin Carter. There are so many falsehoods in this film, it's pathetic. The film has caused a whole lot of pain to the victims' families. And most importantly - Rubin Carter was NEVER exonerated. The state just decided they would not try him a third time. He was guilitier than OJ Simpson.
