AMC to develop Black Lives Matter drama series based on the book "They Can't Kill Us All"
SalonReports say that AMC is developing a new drama series based on Wesley Lowery's book "They Can't Kill Us All: Ferguson, Baltimore, and a New Era in America's Racial Justice Movement," a chronicle of black deaths at the hands of the police from Michael Brown to Philando Castile, and the rise of Black Lives Matter. The potential series would be written and executive produced by LaToya Morgan, a writer and producer for other AMC series "TURN: Washington's Spies" and "Into the Badlands." The development of a Black Lives Matter drama series speaks to a sentiment filmmaker Ava Duvernay expressed in an interview with The Atlantic in 2016 after the release of her acclaimed documentary "13th." She explained: "On one day, across multiple platforms, you have black artists declaring our humanity, our dignity, essentially through all of these pieces, saying that black lives matter."
