'Did You Wonder Who Fired The Gun?': Filmmaker's Searing Indictment Of His Ancestor — And Himself

In Did You Wonder Who Fired the Gun? director Travis Wilkerson dissects an act of racial violence in his family

Director Travis Wilkerson's great-grandfather killed an unarmed black man in 1946 Alabama and got away with it. With self-lacerating fury, the film posits racial violence as a kind of erasure.
