Rising Up: FOX 11 documentary series will look back at critical moments that led to social justice movement

When you look back at the critical days last May and June which erupted into passionate protests and — in some cases — violence, you realize the match was lit long before George Floyd. 

Here in Los Angeles, the roots of community frustration trace back through 2020 from the COVID-19 lockdown, to the tragic death of Kobe Bryant, and even further, decades further, to the LA Riots. 

In a new limited edition documentary series, in new interviews conducted coast to coast, FOX 11 traces the timeline of the critical moments which led to a social justice movement never to be forgotten.

"Rising Up" premiering soon on FOX 11 and streaming on foxla.com, YouTube, Tubi, Fox NewsNOW, and FOX Soul.
