AMC has put in development a drama based on Wesley Lowery’s bestselling nonfiction book They Can’t Kill Us All: Ferguson, Baltimore, and a New Era in America’s Racial Justice. It comes from Brad Weston’s Makeready and writer LaToya Morgan (Into the Badlands, Turn: Washington’s Spies).
Published in 2016 by Little, Brown & Company, the book was acquired by Makeready last fall. It examines how decades of racially biased policing in segregated neighborhoods with failing schools, crumbling infrastructure and too few jobs has led to the high-profile cases of police brutality in Ferguson, Cleveland, Baltimore and elsewhere and the birth of Black Lives Matter movement seeking justice for the deaths of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice and Freddie Gray.
Written by Morgan, who is under an overall deal at AMC, the potential series also will reflect current events and race relations through the stories and voices of fictional characters. Morgan will executive produce with Makeready founder and CEO Weston and creative heads Pam Abdy and Scott Nemes.
Lowery, a reporter at The Washington Post, was a lead on the paper’s “Fatal Force” project, a database that tracked 990 police shootings in 2015. The project won the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting in 2016.
They Can’t Kill Us All joins the growing development slate of Makeready’s television division, headed by Nemes, which funds development and can deficit finance series, with Entertainment One handling international distribution. The slate also includes a series adaptation of Rocket Men, Robert Kurson’s upcoming book about the Apollo 8 odyssey; the Untitled David James Kelly project, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson’s Appian Way; Old City Blues, by screenwriter Arash Amel, based on the Boom graphic novel; Catching Out, from writer/executive producer Amy Harris and executive producer Chloe Grace Moretz; and the Jonás Cuarón-written drama Undocumented America, based on manuscript by journalist and DACA recipient Karla Cornejo Villavicencio about undocumented immigrants across America.
Morgan is repped by Echo Lake Entertainment, CAA, and Rob Szymanski.
They were just ‘rescuing Jordons’ from the flood waters....right?
They are killing each other. White Privelage makes them do it. /s
Thank you for compiling this.
I was thinking more about the Hollywood people.
The reality show for your photo might be,
We’ll Throw Away Our Pride And Honor For A Pair Of Tennis Shoes

I loved their series “Turn”.
But I can see in advance exactly what this is going to be: Propaganda.
They are going to glamorize the BLM and the leftists in bed with them, bringing them back to the glory days (for them) of the Sixties.
And there are a huge number of people out there who will watch this series and swallow it as fact.
As fact.
“Turn” was great. I don’t have cable, but watched an episode and got hooked...got the rest of them via a streaming service.
Well, if they were stealing baby formula, food, water, diapers ....you might have some sympathy [not]...but as , Tucker pointed out last night....*but they all have shoes on, right?*
The entire BLM narrative is based on a demonstrable lie. We should shove the DOJ report down their throats every time they open their pie holes.
I’ve got to give them credit for a bases loaded home run with “Better Call Saul.” The characters come across as real and the insider view of legal practice rings true to me, a retired lawyer. Indeed, it’s my absolute favorite TV series.
Current Chicago homicide stats, via heyjackass.
Proof that Hollywood is subsidized by the taxpayers.
I recall a case where a police officer defended himself against someone trying to kill him.
“potential series”
A hyped delusion until it is on the air.
Correct.
I’ll bet this AMC show never sees the light of day. No way in a million years would any Network want to show the real lies, violence, racism, hatred and bigotry of the BLM movement.
Absolutely agree. I really hope this never makes it on the air.
Yup exactly. A recent example would be the gun control movie Miss Sloane which flopped.
Too bad the book title is a fallacy.
Why not a new series based on BLM called ‘The Looting Dead’? I’d tune in for that. Once...
