Trayvon Martin, a Florida 17-year-old, was shot and killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman on Feb. 26, 2012, for doing nothing other than walking through his neighborhood in a hoodie. His murder sparked protests across the country and jump-started the Black Lives Matter Movement as we dealt with the aftermath of another incidence in unjustified killing of a black man.
It’s been six years since Martin’s death, and the country is still protesting against gun violence and police brutality. Martin’s tragic story will now be told in a six-part documentary series produced by Jay-Z, titled Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story. Paramount released the first teaser for the series in February and now they’ve released an official full-length trailer, which you can watch below.
