Violence Week

5.0/5

Critic Rating

In East Lansing, Michigan, an outburst of violence at the local high school, and the discovery of a gun, leads to a community reckoning over school safety, racial equity, and the role of police in schools. This four-part documentary series asks big questions about school safety, policing, racial equity, and what it’s like to be a teenager in an era of school shootings.


Critic Reviews

Stephen O. • Podcast Delivery Aug 12, 2024

"Violence Week not only shines a light on the first-degree effects and turmoil but also steps back to ask broader societal questions. It’s almost as though this one high school’s terror is a reflection of an entire society’s vulnerabilities and thrusts it all into the national spotlight."

Frank Racioppi • Ear Worthy Aug 8, 2024

"Violence Week confronts the tenderest points and most pressing questions around school safety, policing, and racial equity...it’s not hyperbolic to say that they are riveting and thought-provoking."
