SEASON TWO (2023): On the morning of August 21, 1991, a group of Cuban detainees took over a federal prison in Talladega, Alabama, and demanded their freedom. But how did they get here? And what became of them after? In season two, we unspool a decades-long story about immigration, indefinite detention, and a secret list. It's a story about a betrayal at the heart of our country's ideals.

SEASON ONE (2019): In 1965, Rev. James Reeb was murdered in Selma, Alabama. Three men were tried and acquitted, but no one was ever held to account. Fifty years later, two journalists from Alabama return to the city where it happened, expose the lies that kept the murder from being solved and uncover a story about guilt and memory that says as much about America today as it does about the past.

The tornado was half a mile wide when it set down on the western edge of town and began churning, slowly, for six miles through the city. It killed 50 people and left another 10,000 homeless. After the debris is cleared, the questions start. A unique interactive documentary produced in conjunction with ITVS Interactive, "After the Storm" is the story of what happens when we pick up the pieces and start over again.

"It seems to me we were not particularly shocking people at all. We just faced so many shocking situations – Depression, WWII, the Red Hunt, the Bomb and its aftermath, the Loyalty Oath and the race issue in the South – it seems to me that the Events themselves were the shocking things and if they had not come to us we would have stayed as we were – good Presbyterians, white supremacists, Junior League, Garden Clubs, etc...I do not regret that we were stirred up at all. It just seems to me that History was the shocker instead of us." - Virginia Durr, in a letter dated 1976
