Uprooted

By: discovery+
  • Summary

  • In 1986, Keith Warren, a young Black man, was found hanging in the woods of Silver Spring, Maryland. Police ruled it a suicide, but Keith’s family believed it was a lynching. Six years after his death, a package appeared on Keith’s mother’s porch, containing evidence that cemented the family’s suspicions: was this a cover up? Hosted by Alicia Garza, organizer and co-founder of Black Lives Matter, “Uprooted” follows Keith Warren’s case, uncovering the systemic failures that prevented Keith and his family from getting justice, as well as the future of social justice reform and the journey forward. The “Uprooted" podcast is the companion to the new discovery+ series “Uprooted,” streaming exclusively on discovery+.

  • Ep. 4: The Perfect Victim
    Mar 11 2022

    When the media and police departments decide someone is not the “perfect victim”, citizens must take criminal investigations into their own hands. In this episode, we analyze the concept of the so-called “perfect victim” and how people seek justice for those who don’t fit the ideal profile. We hear about the role Keith Warren’s family played as citizen detectives and wrap the episode with an interview from Lonita Baker, co-counsel for Breonna Taylor and her family.
