Sorry don't have any links cos for some reason I ain't allowed to post attachments. Go onto youtube there is highlights of his fight against emile grifith which makes good viewing if you haven't seen him before. As you can probably guess by my username I am a big fan, and have known about him long before the film ever came out. Also you will be able to find on youtube the song 'hurricane' by bob dylan which is a brilliant song, which was released in the sixties to campaign against his conviction. I can recommend some good books for you though if your interested.

A.Jay - 1st book is Lazarus and the Hurricane by Sam Chaiton and Terry Swinton, and the 2nd book is Hurricane The life of Rubin Carter, Fighter by James S. Hirsch, hope you enjoy them.

The movie, while good, is mostly bull****, with a bunch of half-truths, and some outright lies. The truth is that Carter was convicted of murder, and for good reason. There are several websites that can educate you on all the inaccuracies in the film, like this one.
