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.

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.

The series goes detailing the state of race relations in the US. I can only assume the negative (user) ratings are from friends of George Zimmerman or racist internet trolls who haven't even seen any part of the series. Go watch Fox News and leave the review sites to people who actually watch the shows and are capable of seeing the world in terms beyond black and white

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!!!!

We've got a bunch of Zimmerman supporters trying to drive the rating down to make themselves feel better...

However, and UNBIASED opinion that this is a story that needed to be told. It's called the TRAYVON MARTIN STORY...not that GEORGE ZIMMERMAN STORY or the Story of the Martin vs. Zimmerman Trial.

This isn't as good as the ESPN 30 for 30, OJ: Made in America, but it's close.
