Radical - Series Overview

The story of Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, a charismatic leader of the Black Power Movement sentenced to life in prison for the shooting of two police officers

On March 16, 2000, two police officers were shot in one of Atlanta’s oldest neighborhoods. One officer died and the other claimed the shooter was Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, the leader of a local mosque.

Once known as H. Rap Brown, a charismatic leader of the Black Power Movement, and an honorary officer in the Black Panther Party, Al-Amin was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

Was Al-Amin truly guilty? Or was it payback for decades of work against the establishment?

Mosi Secret, a former reporter for The New York Times and ProPublica, investigates what really happened the night of the shootout in Atlanta, and he uncovers a dark secret revealing something deeper about violence in America, and who deserves to be called radical.
