Killing in the Classroom
After complaining of bullying, gay teenager Abel Cedeno takes a knife to his New York school and stabs a classmate to death.
After complaining for years of homophobic bullying, teenager Abel Cedeno takes a knife to his New York school for the first time 'for protection'. Within hours, one of his classmates is dead and another seriously wounded. With Abel claiming self-defense, the story causes a sensation in the press and divides the city, pitting the black community against the gay community.
Filmed with access to the accused and the victim鈥檚 families in the run-up to the trial, cameras follow the lawyers as they battle it out in the press and the court of public opinion.
This fascinating murder mystery challenges our prejudices and asks: when is a killer the victim, and how does the victim become a villain?
