Matt Roush says...
One of the most notorious murder cases in Boston history is recounted in a gripping three-part documentary that begins when Charles Stuart, a white man, called 911 a week before Halloween 1989 claiming he and his pregnant wife, Carol, had been shot by a Black assailant in the Mission Hill neighborhood. The city, known for its racial divisions, exploded as the police pursued manhunts against innocent Black men until suspicion fell on the husband. The series, produced in association with The Boston Globe, explores the sensational crime, the incendiary aftermath and its impact on Boston’s race relations, police procedures and media coverage.
