If people don't continue to produce various forms of media about historical events, those events get forgotten. Even people who will happily go off and research on their own still need to have their interest piqued. Just look at how Google searches for things like "nuclear reactor" and "roentgen" spiked with the release of Chernobyl. People could have gone and researched all of this long before HBO made a popular show about it, but not as many people did as did after. Maybe they weren't born yet and didn't hear about it at the time and had little reason to think about it before. That's probably true for many people regarding Central Park Five. I was alive, but young and living far away and I have no memory of hearing about the incident at the time. I learned about the Central Park Five later via a documentary on PBS. I'm not sure what separates this movie from that documentary or from any books, articles, interviews, or other documentaries on the subject. Different points of view, different spins on the subject, different pieces of information highlighted or ignored, yes... but it all adds up to history and catches people's attention so they don't forget.
