The killing of African American teen Trayvon Martin devastates his family and turns a town upside down when police refuse to arrest the killer, George Zimmerman, because of Florida's Stand Your Ground Law.
Trayvon Martin is the top story in America exposing racial injustice. President Obama's remarks create a political divide and Martin's parents endure attacks on their son's character as they continue to fight for an arrest.
Awaiting trial, Zimmerman's background is explored as he becomes an unlikely hero to the far right. Trayvon's parents are subject to grueling depositions, and a jury is seated in what is being called the trial of the century.
The world watches as the trial of George Zimmerman begins in Florida. The prosecution fumbles and their strategy is questioned when they can't handle the most significant issue in the case: race.
Zimmerman's team capitalizes on the faults of the prosecution and focuses their defense on race, criminalizing Trayvon Martin. The public waits for a verdict that will have deep repercussions on the nation's future.
An in-depth look at the origin and aftermath of the 2012 shooting of Trayvon Martin and subsequent trial of George Zimmerman, which sparked a national debate on race relations and revealed a deeply fractured and divided country.
