Bob dylan - hurricane?

what was it based on ?

"Hurricane" is a protest song by Bob Dylan about the imprisonment of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter. It compiles alleged acts of racism and profiling against Carter, which Dylan describes as leading to a false trial and conviction.

If you listen to the lyrics, the song is about the boxer Rubin Carter, an african-american man who was wrongly accused of murder. There was a movie in early 2000 (?) called the hurricane about him. it starred denzel washington.
