Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story

On February 26th 2012, 17 year old Trayvon Martin was stalked, shot and killed on a return trip home from a convenience store by George Zimmerman. What followed was a media circus of spin doctoring and smear campaigns against Martin and his family while Zimmerman stood trial for the second degree murder of Trayvon. He was later acquitted and revels as a "hero" in the aftermath. This documentary series is an insight to Martin's life and the moments leading up to his murder along with the subsequent trial and out cry for justice. It is intricate and detailed, offering arguments and counter points against the allegations the main stream media news pushed (especially Fox News), and paints a full picture of the situation. From the Martin home life before and after to the mental state and violent situations Zimmerman found himself in. The people down voting this series are obviously not going to give this series a chance, their views are set in stone and will not be persuaded, but this series should be watched, it should be shown to high schools as Roots is shown. It is an important series that reflects the persisting problem of racism and xenophobia that still runs rampant in the veins of America to this day.

This is an Excellent Documentary Series. All 6 Episodes are very well made with Real Life Footage in every angle. A true in depth look into every aspect of the case. MUST WATCH....MUST SEE!!!!

This 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.

The images they use tell the story of who Zimmerman truly is, Trayvon's death was a modern day lynching. Strong delivery, much like the Kalief Browder story.

I followed the story of Trayvon Martin's murder and the trial from beginning to end. The documentary gives great insight into this tragic event from the perspective of the family and shares their emotionally painful journey after the killing. I found it to be quite interesting.
