Riot: from Rebellion to Redemption

As cities across the US continue to be plagued by conflict, Riot: From Rebellion to Redemption traces the trail of heartbreak from the 1967 riots to modern Newark, NJ, the city that still struggles to recover from the tragedies of that summer. More than just a dusty history lesson, Riot brings viewers face-to-face with the people who refused to let the riot define or defeat them.
