Synopsis
Crown Heights (2017) is a drama you can watch online on iFILM, based on the true story of Colin Warner — wrongfully convicted of murder in Brooklyn in 1980 after a teenager misidentified him.
Lakeith Stanfield plays Warner across more than two decades behind bars. Nnamdi Asomugha plays his friend Carl King, the man who worked multiple jobs, spent years combing through trial records, and refused to stop. Bill Camp and Brian Tyree Henry appear in supporting roles — brief scenes that carry real weight. Director Matt Ruskin keeps the pace deliberate, because the story demands it.
The film took the Audience Award at Sundance 2017. It earns that response not through courtroom theatrics but through the grinding reality of how long injustice can simply hold — and what it costs the people fighting it from the outside. Stream Crown Heights on iFILM.
