For more than twenty years, Columbus police have killed dozens of people who live in the city—mostly Black people, many young—yet no officer was charged with murder. In their wake, a group of women, bound by grief at losing their sons, brothers, and sisters, demand recognition for their loss, offering searing indictments of a system which has failed them. Together, these families challenge the city’s long legacy of withholding answers and ignoring their calls for accountability, and confront what feels like an impossible question: how do you get justice from a system which has stolen the lives of their children?
