Atlantas Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children - Season 1
Trailer
HBO network presents this documentary series that looks at a controversial case. In Atlanta during the period between 1979 and 1981, more than 30 African-American children and young were kidnapped and murdered.
Unsettling and engrossing, "Atlanta's Missing and Murdered" is a must watch. It will leave audiences baffled and enraged over how justice for these wicked, unusually extreme crimes, has yet to be properly served.
Murdered and Missing is a vital education for anyone interested in a pivotal, incredibly volatile moment in the city's history, one that still haunts and informs our present.
What Atlanta's Missing and Murdered does well is, instead of just casting doubt on the conviction and revealing missed leads and suspects, it really gets to the heart of why officials were so quick to try to close the cases.
Hundreds of black children go missing without a trace. But one summer in ATL changed everything. Sam Pollard and Maro Chermayeff delicately share stories of victims, family, the accused and details being the most infamous murder in recent history
