LatestViolence dominates life, especially in poor, black neighborhoods. Martijn and Finbarr are in 'murder capital' Memphis. Here they follow a group of bounty hunters who try to arrest people because they still have outstanding sentences and fines. Martijn and Finbarr have an awkward conversation with the McCloskys, a deeply conservative lawyer couple who chased Black Lives demonstrators from their front yard with automatic weapons. In Fergusson they join a police patrol led by a black police officer. They meet a man who was stopped and treated racist so many times that he decided to join the police.
Martijn Blekendaal and Finbarr Wilbrink travel along the Underground Railroad, the underground network that helped thousands of enslaved people escape to freedom. They ask themselves: How does the past of slavery impact contemporary life in America?
