On an otherwise unremarkable, rainy Florida evening just over five years ago, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was walking home with a snack and talking on the phone with a friend. The fatal confrontation that happened next would polarize the country and create the hauntingly iconic image of a young man in a hoodie that has become a powerful symbol of social justice activism. Told through the alternating narratives of his parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, Rest in Power paints an intimate portrait of Trayvon, questions the cruelty of the police and the indifference of the legal system, and maps a transcendent journey from senseless tragedy to power and purpose.
