The story of the Hurricane comes to symposium

Thanks to Hollywood, everyone in America has heard the heart-wrenching story of Rubin "the Hurricane" Carter, the African-American boxer who was falsely accused of murder in the 1960s. Instead of being bitter in the face of racial discrimination and a travesty of the judicial system, Carter remained positive during his 20-year prison stay and was finally acquitted. While everyone has given accolades to actor Denzel Washington for his amazing portrayal of Carter in The Hurricane, many admit that the Hollywood-friendly script does not tell the entire story accurately.
