Join NHPR's Jason Moon for a conversation about the reporting and production of Death Resulting, the latest season from NHPR's Document podcast.
This free virtual event will be held at 7 pm eastern time on Wednesday, Feb. 23.
Document: Death Resulting was released as a four-part podcast in December 2021. It follows the case of Josh, a young man facing a 20-year mandatory minimum sentence in federal prison for his friend’s death. Moon examines forces that shape such cases, including a cycle of generational trauma and addiction, as well as the racist origins and impacts of these prosecutions.
Jason will be in conversation with NHPR's All Things Considered host Peter Biello. They'll discuss the work and research that went on behind the scenes on the project, and explore why the Document team wanted to tell this story. They'll also take questions from the audience.
Join us! Tickets are complimentary, but you'll need a reservation. You can register here.
