Jasper, Texas

In 1998, three white men in the small town of Jasper, Texas, chained a black man to the back of their pickup truck and dragged him to his brutal death over three miles of country road. The aftermath of this heinous crime thrust the town into the collective conscience of the nation, forcing residents to confront their own biases and prejudices as media coverage and the arrival of contentious groups like the Ku Klux Klan and Black Panthers created tension in an already divided community. As the trial of the perpetrators unfolds, local leaders struggle to maintain peace and justice is served, but not without leaving a lasting impact on the town's fragile relationships between white and black citizens.
