Hurricane is a movie I forgot about:

Rubin "Hurricane" Carter was a great boxer who once almost won a world championship. However, in 1967 he was arrested and wrongly convicted for a triple murder in a bar, the Lafayette Grill in Paterson, New Jersey. Over the next decades, he and his supporters amassed convincing evidence of his innocence that lead to his release in 1986. His story was told in the book Hurricane. The miraculous Journay if Rubin Carter by James S. Hirsch and also in the movie Hurricane with Denzel Washington. I can recommend both.
