After Reverend Sharon Risher’s mother was killed by a white supremacist in the historically black Mother Emanuel AME Church massacre in Charleston, SC, on June 17, 2015, she found herself struggling to cope. Though many in her church community were soon able to forgive the killer, Risher was not. Viewers will follow Risher’s journey as she begins her healing process, turning to social activism and working nationwide to speak out against racism and gun violence.
