Discovery+ and NowThis Release Trailer For Groundbreaking True Crime Docuseries, 'Uprooted'

Three-Episode Docuseries Launching Friday, February 18, on discovery+ Reveals New Information in the Decades-Old Unsolved Death of Keith Warren

Today, discovery+ and NowThis released the first-look trailer for the original docuseries Uprooted, which tells the injustice of the 1986 unsolved hanging death of a 19-year-old Black man, Keith Warren, in Silver Spring, Maryland. All episodes will stream Friday, February 18 on discovery+.

Never thoroughly investigated, Keith Warren's sister Sherri has spent 35 years seeking the truth about what happened to her brother. Fighting systemic corruption at every turn, her end goal is to change Keith's death certificate to reflect the truth. Featuring interviews with Keith Warren's friends and family as well as both active and retired law enforcement, forensic experts, eyewitnesses and private investigators, Uprooted includes never-before-reported support for the probability Keith Warren did not die by suicide.

Uprooted will be accompanied by a six-part podcast hosted by Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza. Listeners will hear from academics, activists, artists, and culture critics like actor and activist Kendrick Sampson, Color of Change President Rashad Robinson, activist Linda Sarsour, sociologist Nancy Wang-Yuen, Uprooted director Avril Z. Speaks and more, to dive deeper into inequitable systems that influenced the outcome of Keith's case and the impact that remains today. The series will peel back the layers and shed light on the criminal investigations, police corruption, media accountability, the "perfect victim," and generational trauma.

Uprooted is NowThis' first-ever long-form docuseries in partnership with discovery+, spearheaded by NowThis and Group Nine Studios, the studios arm of Group Nine Media. Uprooted is directed by Avril Z. Speaks and Executive Produced by Matt McDonough alongside NowThis' Tina Exarhos. The project marks an expansion of NowThis' investment in social justice-focused true crime content.
