Claiming self-defense, Zimmerman was later acquitted in July 2013 of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges, sparking national protests.

The six-part series, which features interviews with Trayvon’s parents Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, will also explore the onset of the Black Lives Matter movement.

In addition to Martin’s parents, the documentary will feature interviews with the family’s lawyer, Benjamin Crump, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Carmelo Anthony, Angela Davis and many others.
