HBO is putting a major spotlight on Atlanta's infamous child murders this April in a five-part docuseries titled Atlanta's Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children. It is just one of the many documentaries, films and television series that AAFCA (African American Film Critics Association) is suggesting audiences to watch during this COVID-19 shut-in.
The one-hour series offers an unprecedented look at the abduction and murder of at least 30 African-American children and young adults in Atlanta between 1979 and 1981. Forty years later, with the official re-opening of the case by Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, the series tells the inside story of this shocking tragedy, shedding new light on the horrific killings through exclusive archival material as well as interviews with those closest to the children and investigation.
In addition to this series, Ed Adams also talked with UPFRONT about Netflix's original movie Uncorked, the return of Insecure and OWN's Queen Sugar, which picked up Television Academy Honors last week.
