The 1 star reviews are from obvious racists, the idea that this is "rewriting history" is not true. While it is emotional, all the facts do line up to what most people were reporting (obviously not FOX news).
... View More100% LIE and an attempt to rewrite the true story!Zimmerman was a petty thug but he was defending himself from having his head dribbled on a concrete sidewalk! And the NRA had ZERO to do with the jury! NRA is not a boogeyman! Learn what they do! And no they do not buy congress! They aren't even in the top 100 donor list! Their power derives form a 6 million member voting block and another 30-50 million who agree with them!

View MoreRest in Power: The Trayvon Martin story is supposed to be a "documentary," but it runs a heavy amount of propaganda ads and red herrings from beginning to end showing bias against Florida laws, the NRA, and Due Process. There are clips from recent events that had nothing to do with TM or even anything about BLM. The docuseries is advertised as showing the point of view of Trayvon Martin's family, but it hardly does exact that. It does more to promote the BLM movement then it does in giving an accurate account of either side of the people involved. What is more disappointing is that they ran the same stories and edited clips that led the first couple of journalists reporting the story to be fired. Does it make it okay to run edited dispatch calls? If you're explaining who ran them and what happened then ok I see that as being part of the documentary, but when you don't even explain that the journalist who edited the 911 calls was fired then that is very bad. Decades from now this could be misunderstood by people searching for material on this case and could be given a historically false narrative and misrepresentation of the facts. The story gets you to feel sorry for Trayvon by showing childhood pictures of him appearing to be innocent but doesn't focus on his role in the altercation or events leading him to be removed from his mom's home. I think this is a crucial error if you're going to give out the truth even if it is of a negative light because this information is important for viewers to understand how his behavior in his final days led to his death. Ultimately this first episode utilizes sensationalism and propaganda to influence its' more uneducated viewers to ignore the facts presented in the Court of Law and to instead follow a false narrative to influence public opinion that was manipulated by the media with ties to MLB, Al Sharpton, and Benjamin Crump. This first episode utilizes a lot of mind control and persuasive techniques to psychologically manipulate viewers into believing what is presented as truth while censoring the real facts presented by the justice system during trial. This docuseries would be an educational example of what true propaganda is.
... View MoreThis documentary is from the view/perspective of the family. The details or facts don't have to be verbatim to the trial. Let's remember our justice system isn't always accurate! I believe this docu-series will take the viewer on an emotional ride from the view of the victim's family.
