When the bodies of two Black men were found sitting with a crack pipe in a parked car in a rundown section of town in 1994, it seemed like just another day in Kansas City, Kansas. The swift arrest and conviction of a Black teenager raised no eyebrows either. And yet, thirty years later this case would take down the corruption that had long controlled the city’s power structure. Injustice Town is a powerful story of a falsely imprisoned man, a sweeping indictment of a city, and shows us the vision of what a better future could be.
