Riot: From Rebellion to Redemption

Story Line

This feature-length documentary offers a chilling look at the long-term effects of urban conflict on a city, its people, and its neighbors. More than just a dusty history lesson, this program brings viewers face-to-face with not only the racism and violence of the event, but the heartbreak that followed, and the ensuing determination of the people who refused to let the riot define or defeat them.

“An in-depth look at The Newark Riots, a conflict that forever changed life in the area.”
