Gaining Ground: The New Georgia

Introducing “We Came to the Forest"


Listen Later

In the depths of an Atlanta forest, a clash between activists and authorities ended in tragedy. But the official narrative doesn't add up. 

We Came to the Forest, a new investigative podcast from Wondery, Campside Media, and TenderfootTV, peels back the layers of secrecy surrounding a deadly confrontation that shook a community to its core.

Through exclusive recordings and never-before-released eyewitness accounts, host Matthew Shaer exposes the hidden truths behind a nighttime shootout that left one activist dead and countless lives forever changed. As we dig deeper, we uncover a web of conflicting testimonies, missing evidence, and allegations of a cover-up reaching the highest levels of law enforcement.

From the idealistic dreams of young environmentalists to the complex motivations of local officials, this story challenges our understanding of justice, activism, and the lengths people will go to protect what they believe in.

What actually happened in the forest? 

We Came to the Forest is available now, wherever you get your podcasts.
