Episode 5: Charleston Reshuffle
Announcing the first of our new "bitesized" episodes, which we hope to release regularly between our "deep dive" episodes.
*****
On 4 April 2015, an unarmed man was unlawfully shot dead on the streets of Charleston, South Carolina by a police officer.
The local chief of police would be called to testify in the subsequent murder trial, amid national media interest and widespread community unrest.
The public interpretation of events was largely divided along the usual American socio-ethnic and political faultlines.
But Charleston is one of the oldest towns in the American South, with many secrets buried deep underneath the weight of centuries - and nothing is ever quite as it seems.
And the people now living on different sides of the tracks might have a lot more in common than they could possibly imagine...
