Atlanta’s Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children

Atlanta’s Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children is a 5-part documentary which turns its lens on one of the most notorious serial killing sprees in America’s history– the murders of 30 African American children and young adults that wreaked havoc on the city of Atlanta four decades ago. Through a wealth of never-before-seen archival footage and original interviews with family members, law enforcement, journalists, historians, and attorneys on both sides of the case, the series investigates what actually happened to these young victims and raises important questions about the guilt of the primary suspect Wayne Williams. As the series explores the complex racial and political history of the city of Atlanta, we follow the current Mayor and the Chief of Police, as they embark on the trailblazing effort to reopen and reinvestigate these crimes, and then dig deep with the surviving family members in their continued quest for justice.
