Shots Fired (2017)

Caught in the volatile aftermath of racially tinged shootings, "Shots Fired" catapults viewers into a small Southern town teetering on the edge of chaos. This gripping 10-hour event series, crafted by the minds of Gina Prince-Bythewood and Reggie Rock Bythewood, peels back the layers of a "why done it?" and a "who done it?", creating an incendiary exploration of the criminal justice system. The narrative detonates when an unarmed white college student is fatally shot by an African-American police officer, sending shockwaves through the tranquil streets of a North Carolina town. But before the community has a chance to catch its breath and process this tragedy, a long-ignored murder of an African-American teen resurfaces, reopening raw, painful wounds. "Shots Fired" is not just a tale of two murders; it's an unflinching dissection of a society riddled with racial tension and injustice, threatening to fracture under the weight of its own secrets. As the town stands on the precipice of destruction, the series paints a searing picture of a community grappling with tragedies that could tear it asunder.
