What does it mean to be a victim? Or a survivor? In a few brief moments in October 2023, 18 lives were lost in Lewiston — and Maine was changed.
For the victims, their loved ones and everyone affected by this tragedy, the ability to heal means understanding what happened.
In Episode 1, we meet several people who are trying to recover — from the trauma of losing a loved one, from being critically injured and from being psychologically wounded. And we learn about the fallout for members of the shooter’s family, who must also contend with his painful legacy.
This is also a story about the possibility for change — how the lessons of Lewiston might help make us safer.
