Shots on the Bridge explores one of the most dramatic cases of injustice seen in our country in the last decade--the massacre of innocent people, carried out by members of the New Orleans Police Department in the brutal, disorderly days following Hurricane Katrina. It reveals the fear that gripped the police of a city slid into anarchy, the circumstances that led desperate survivors to arrive on the bridge, and the horror that erupted when the police opened fire. It dissects the cover-up that nearly buried the truth, and the legal maze that, a decade later, leaves the victims still searching for justice.
