Growing up in a city where employment opportunities are scarce, violence implodes neighborhoods and murder is a norm, it’s rare to find people who are able to overcome these adversarial challenges and come out victorious. Murder City gives us a glimpse into the life of Deonte Matthews (Duke), a young black male from Flint Michigan who has battled such challenges. From facing charges of 1st degree murder amongst others, which were all later dropped, to enrolling in college and maintaining a 4.0 GPA, his accomplishments are admirable and empowering to others who may feel trapped in a life of crime. His powerful story sheds light on the impact of growing up in dense violent conditions, and also the motivation that influences change and brings with it, redemption.
