Topics:
- Violent Times - Phoenix, Arizona. Summer 2020. A city gripped by riots, unrest, and a rising tide of violence.
- The Participants - Not chaos alone. Educated, coordinated actors moving with purpose and intent.
- Unlike Anything Seen Before - Attacks on law enforcement unfolding not only in the streets, but inside the political arena.
- In the Crosshairs - A prosecutor and a police Sergeant find themselves carrying the blame that wasn't theirs to begin with and that others escaped.
- The Fallout - Years later, the consequences still echo. Where the dust has settled and where it hasn’t.
