- Still My Baby
Still My Baby is a powerful, intimate limited series that tells the untold story of one of the most pivotal moments in modern American history - the murder of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Told from the perspective of Lezley McSpadden, Mike Brown’s mother, this is not a courtroom drama or a political explainer. It’s a portrait of Mike’s family told by those closest to him. The series traces the years before August 9, 2014, when Lezley was a young mom and Mike was just a funny, big-hearted kid. Then, everything changed. And in the deafening noise that followed - public shaming, national outrage, and a 400+ day uprising - one family was left behind, trying to pick up the pieces in private. We look at what happened to that family in the immediate aftermath of Mike’s killing, how they longed for the ordinary after tragedy hit, and we’ll see how they built themselves back to where they are today.
