Protests begin as Dorothy and Archie Elliott Jr, align with activist, radio host and advocate Joe Madison in pursuit of justice for their son. Though the journey is quite emotional, they share the challenges they have faced along the way. We feature interviews from family members and friends, recounting the aftermath of that horrific day Artie died, as well as the re-victimization they have experienced. And we learn about the ongoing fight to have Artie’s case re-opened.

Dorothy But the day that we went there, and they were saying, "How many bullets, one, how many bullets, two, how many bullets, three." When they got on up until about six or seven, that was when I just cried my head off. And I ended up on the shoulders of Martin Luther King. We did a lot of marching; we did a lot of standing still.
