They Can't Kill Us All - Black Lives Matter Drama Based on Wesley Lowrey's Bestselling Book in Development at AMC

Share on Reddit



AMC has put in development a drama based on Wesley Lowrey’s bestselling non-fiction book They Can’t Kill Us All: Ferguson, Baltimore, and a New Era in America’s Racial Justice. It comes from Brad Weston’s Makeready and writer LaToya Morgan (Into the Badlands, Turn: Washington’s Spies).

The book, published in 2016 by Little Brown & Co., was acquired by Makeready last fall. It examines how decades of racially biased policing in segregated neighborhoods with failing schools, crumbling infrastructure and too few jobs, has led to the high-profile cases of police brutality in Ferguson, Cleveland, Baltimore and elsewhere and the birth of Black Lives Matter movement seeking justice for the deaths of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, and Freddie Gray.

Written by Morgan, who is under an overall deal at AMC, the potential series will also reflect current events and race relations through the stories and voices of fictional characters. Morgan will executive produce with Makeready’s founder and CEO Weston and creative heads Pam Abdy and Scott Nemes.
