The fillmmakers who produced a documentary on the five men wrongfully convicted in the Central Park jogger case are fighting back against a subpoena for outtakes issued by the New York City Law Department.
Decrying a “sweeping subpoena for nearly all of the video and audio recordings” gathered during the making of “The Central Park Five,” attorneys for directors Ken Burns, his daughter Sarah Burns and her husband David McMahon insisted the material is shielded by both state law and the federal reporter’s privilege.
‘The Central Park Five’ is set for general release on Nov. 23.
