From Kirkus Reviews
...dogged research, including new interviews and previously produced materials, has yielded a well-rounded portrait of Bias and those who are trying to make sense of his death.
Here's a sample reel for the podcast/documentary:
All projects support the 34 + 1 campaign to improve effective decision making skills in teenagers and young adults. The campaign was launched on June 19, 2020, 34 years after he death of Bias, and aims to promote, Born Ready Project, presentations that teach effective decision making skills. We have partnered with the Decision Education Foundation to support the campaign.
The campaign comes at a critical time when decision making plays an important role in dealing with the Coronavirus crisis and the increased awareness of the mistreatment of people of color.
