This remarkable true story begins in a Brooklyn ghetto when a group of Canadians meet Lesra (Lazarus), an illiterate black teenager who wins their hearts.
They end up bringing him to Toronto to help with his education, and while learning to read, Lesra finds a copy of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter's The Sixteenth Round. It was a book destined to change Lesra's life forever, and the lives of his adopted family.
Moved by Lesra's passion, his adopted Canadian family contacted Carter and re-invigorated the legal battle.
The inspiring relationship that ensued forms the heart of Lazarus and the Hurricane--a riveting legal drama, fast-paced murder investigation, and above all, a moving account of hope, humanity, and the indomnitability of the human spirit.
