(1940s aqua music) talk to farmers. we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. ? we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ? oh wow, what kind of underwear are those? they're breathable underwear from fruit of the loom. wait, fruit of the loom makes breathable underwear?

>> you know, i think there's a lot of anguish in this country around the way rapists are being convicted and this case was so powerful, the statement given by this young woman so powerful. the only opportunity for the judge to hear from her, to hear how this rape impacted her life and to weigh in on t release, i think many are disappointed by this sentence, robin. >> areva, let me ask, a lot of outrage about this sentence, how unusual is this, though? is this happening more than we think? >> there's some data out there that suggests that only 3% of rapists will actually spend time in jail. that report has come under attack but i think it's pretty clear that rapists on college campuses fare better in terms of sentencing than those that are campus so really something we need to look at in this country. >> college students have been talking about this on campuses all across the country, i'll ask you this. why is that the case? why does that seem to be more lenient, dan? >> i think we're seeing a lot more coverage of this now which is actually a good thing, exposing the criminal justice system for what it is both the good and the bad can be very helpful. here you're talking about the possibility of 4 to 12 years and gets this lenient sentence. no question this level, i think most expected. >> talking about exposing the criminal justice system. this next headline, surprise twist "making a murderer" case, a federal judge overturning the convicted of brendan dassey who was found guilty in 2007 along with his uncle steven avery of murdering teresa halbach and the judge saying his confession was coerced. here's a look at some of it. look at this. >> dan, were you surprised. >> i was surprised not because of the reasoning, meaning i agree with the judge entirely. what makes this so surprising is you have a federal court here stepping in and saying, yes, i know this worked its way through the state court. yes, this is a state court crime. but this is such an unreasonable decision and raises such fundamental constitutional questions, that i'm going to throw it out. that's what makes it so unusual surprise to many of us including those who think that brendan dassey is totally innocent. >> what about steven avery? >> this does not help avery. all these people say, oh, so avery will be the next one. if you read the judge's opinion, the judge sort of presumes in this opinion that the evidence against steven avery is valid. i don't think this is going to have any impact on his case, certainly in the a positive impact. his lawyer will file a separate motion in a separate case and i >> so much attention. >> in particular to avery. >> yes. >> you want to lighten things up? >> let's do it. >> now to that big adele news, a sold out concert. she shot down rumors that she would be performing at next year's super bowl halftime show. take a look at what she said. >> first of all i'd like to tell you that i'm not doing the super bowl. well, come on, i mean, come on. that show is not about music. and i don't really -- c't they were very kind. they did ask me but i said no. >> i can't dance. >> yeah, very well. the nfl and pepsi says they had conversations with several artists but they have not extended a formal offer to anyone. joining us now is howard bragman, howard, the super bowl halftime show is a big deal. what do you make of what adele said?

personal mission with her new project writing and directing and starring in "a tale of love and darkness" based on the powerful best-seller and want to start with a clip of the movie. you played the mom in this talking to her son about something really important. take a look. >> wow. telling her son when it's okay to lie. great to have you with us. >> thank you. >> mom, director, actress, writer of this new project of yours but i want to go back to when you originally read the book and said, natalie, you could envision it the moment you were reading it. >> yes, i read the book for the when it came out in translation and immediately i started seeing the film in front of my eyes and i knew that that had to be my first film to direct because it was so, so immediate in my mind. >> this particular story reminded you of the stories you had been told as a child. >> yes, it was so similar to so many of the stories i had heard growing up because my family is from -- my father's side is from grandparents as refugees from europe in the '30s, late '30s coming to israel which was then british mandate palestine and it's just that shock of what it is when you're an mcghie going to a place that is not anything like you expected it to be. >> decipher between what was reality and these stories picked up and expanded upon over time. i know you wanted to make this and you went out and you thought it and over time people said why don't you just write it. >> yeah, it was actually really empowering because i kept thinking, oh, i'll find someone, a professional writer to write this and i kept meeting with people and they said you know how to do this, you're explaining what you want. so eventually i adopted it myself. >> not only did she write this, she starred in it, you also directed it and i'm curious, when you're dregging yourself, how much have you taken from other directors that you've help the arcs who are on the set and is it easier to direct yourself? >> so i thought it would be harder than it was because there's actually something easier when you watch yourself and you want to change something, you don't have to figure out the words to use to explain it. you just do it. you know what you want and you just do it whereas with other actors you obviously have to find the language that will help them and i definitely took from directors i worke ways, you know, anthony minghella who i worked with on "cold mountain" would have actors opposite you change their lines and i would do that with the arcs sometimes where you're offscreen you can say something that shocks them or scares them, there was a time when i wanted the little boy to be excited running out and i would tell him like, there's an ice cream truck outside and he'd just light up and go out. >> we just have a few seconds left but your little guy is 5. >> uh-huh. in the same way you embraced all your work and wonder how it helped you on the set in making sure everyone was taken care of. >> it is actually quite parental role, i think, being a director because your job is to make everyone comfortable, make sure everyone is okay and also get the best out of them. like how can you everyone courage them and support them to get the best out of them which is very much a parental role. >> natalie, great to have you back on "gma." thanks for coming in this morning and this friday and coming up this morning, chance the rapper is here. natalie and i were hearing him warm up in the break. incredible. you got to see this. and a mission under way to help others. we're live, come on back. we're back now with chance the rapper. the independent artist one of hip-hop's most innovative up and coming stars. is topping charts and his social work with his father, his younger brother, his family is inspiring so many. we're going to chat, don't worry, more importantly you'll hear him perform but first we want to take a look at chance's journey. ? i got my city doing front flips ? ? whenever the -- >> reporter: one of the hottest new names in hip-hop. chance the rapper, a chicago native to blends hip-hop with tape "coloring book." >> i make rap music for everybody. ? my handmade pan fried sun dried south side and beat the devil by a landslide ? >> reporter: they caught the attention from everyone from jay z and beyonce to madonna to another chicago great, kanye west. >> all my music to a certain extent is about freedom. there is a lot of taboos in hip-hop that people try to stay away from. i think a big one should be able to speak about god. if you're not free to speak about god then you're not free. >> reporter: he graced the cover of "billboard" and "complex" magazine and nike just tapped him to be the voice of their new campaign. he gained his following from social media and grassroots marketing and even though several major record labels approached him, he's choosing not to sign and remain independent. something that's very separate from music and so staying on the music sound i found success. >> reporter: instead of selling his music he's giving it away for free. his latest mix tape is only available to stream. making it the first stream only album to chart on the billboard 200. before chance was selling out arenas around the world he started here at the chicago public library's u-media center, a youth learning space that gives their creativity. >> welcome to open mike, chicago. >> reporter: now he's paying it forward and hosts a monthly open mike night for students. >> we get on that stage, we're not afraid to make mistakes. ? i put the tonic ? >> chance is inspiring to me because i'm in the same type of programming he was into. ? so it kind of makes me feel like i have a shot of doing something >> chance the rapper, it is so great to have you here. but looking forward to spending some time with you and letting people get to know you and the work that you're doing and to hear these young people talk about, hey, it gives them hope. these open mikes and i know you have other project, as well. tell us about your passion to help young people. >> yeah, i mean, i come from a family of organizers and abolitionists and social workers and just a long line o it's -- it always felt integral to becoming a man to be person of the people and put in work. >> i love how you found your way to do it. i'm sure all your family members and you are very good about talking about your family and your ancestor, they had their way of doing it. this is your way. >> yeah, it's awesome. i mean, i'm in a -- i think the climate of music and technology correlates with music, i'm in a good space to do whatever i want. you know. >> absolutely. and it's gaining the attention of people, president obama put out his playlist for the summer. you're on it. >> yeah. >> "acid rain." >> yeah, pretty crazy. i had no idea. i didn't see that coming. and probably the coolest playlist i've ever been included in. people don't know at home but we met before this. >> last week. >> obama's birthday party. yeah. >> did you bring i saw your mom. >> i did bring my mom as my date. >> i'm glad. that's the kind of young man that you are. >> yeah. >> some people have to see you at the espy, quite a performance and had to be an honor paying tribute to the great one, muhammad ali. >> yeah, i mean, he's -- since i was young i always felt a very close connection and me and my dad always bonded through watching old boxing clips and stuff, so to be up there, you know, with his face behind me and also being able to give was one of the best moments i've ever had. >> and moments that's coming up for you, as well. mtv awards, the vmas. you're nominated. you don't even -- you give your music away. it's the first time, you know, strictly streaming online like that and to get a nomination. >> yeah. i mean, like that in itself i feel like i won just being celebrated and being noticed by mtv, shoutout to mtv for knong they're awesome. yeah, it's an amazing feeling. i don't really care about winning anymore. it's just to have them notice me is very cool. >> you mean it when you say it's truly an honor to be nominated. some people say that but you mean it. you mean it. can you perform for us coming back? >> i would love to perform for you, please. >> you said, you know, you're more -- >> i can function in the morning. this is
