Here's Your First Look At Jay-Z's Trayvon Martin Docu-Series
Trayvon Martin is being remembered in an exceedingly powerful way on the sixth anniversary of his death, as Paramount Network dropped the opening trailer for its upcoming docu-series based on his legacy,
Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story.
Produced by
Jay-Z and based on a book written by Martin's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, the series will revisit the 17-year-old's fatal encounter with George Zimmerman on this day (February 26) in 2012. It'll also explore themes of race, power, cash, politics, and the criminal justice system.
The short
Rest in Power teaser alludes to Martin's famed place in the
Black Lives Matter movement, with a cacophony of voices recognizing him as "just kid" plus a rallying call." One voice says, "I don't want this to be swept under the rug." Yet another voice — the final one you hear in the teaser — resonates above all the others: "They mention that time heals all wounds. It does not."
Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story premieres this July on Paramount Network.
