HBO will be debuting a documentary that explores life after the Freddie Gray tragedy. The documentary is called Baltimore Rising and will air in November.
HBO’s documentary Baltimore Rising is coming soon, and will be an attempt to bring forth a more realistic and humanized narrative and perspective of the protests that started after the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray two summers ago in Baltimore.
Sonja Sohn, best known for her roles as Detective Samantha Baker on ABC’s series Body of Proof and Detective Kima Greggs on HBO’s The Wire, is the documentary’s director. While Sohn is an actress mainly, she also co-wrote the independent film Slam which she also had a starring role in.
The documentary will follow “activists, police officers, community leaders and gang affiliates, who struggle to hold Baltimore together, even as the homicide rate hits record levels, and explores how to make change when change is hard,” according to HBO.
Freddy Gray was a 25-year black male who died after suffering a spinal injury while in police custody. Gray’s injury and death was attributed to police negligence as the arresting officers put Gray in a van without a seatbelt. When the tragedy occurred in 2015, both violent riots and peaceful protests erupted.

Boycott HBO
I guess "Baltimore Sinking" just doesnt have the same ring to it.
rising? the only things rising in baltimore would be the level of crime, drug use, murders, OD's, # of bastard kids, bs democratic politicians, oh yeah and the illiteracy rate! any ?'s
real documentary should be called Baltimore Falling and show the ghetto and how the thugs turned a beautiful city to trash in a few years!!!!
How can this possibly make any difference? This is going to have a prejudicial ethnic slant and of course the cops are going to be portrayed as the bad guys. Forget that Freddie Gray was a career criminal and at the time of apprehension was distributing which is, bottom line, one of the major problems in Baltimore. Ridiculous and a colossal waste of time. These people will be speaking from emotion rather than fact or study based. Nothing will be gained.
Baltimore Sinking. Baltimore Sunk.
Oh I am sure it will come down to it being Trump's fault.
I just pulled my subscription.
