A Muslim-American family fights for justice after their loved ones are murdered in NC.

In 2015, three Muslim-American students were shot and killed in Chapel Hill, NC. As their families confront the grief of the loss, they push back against the claim that their deaths were part of a random dispute. This film follows their courageous advocacy to expose the truth and fight for justice in the face of systemic racism.
