Customer Reviews
What is Justice?
What a beautiful tribute to their friend! These fine young men and women work to tell the story of their grief, their search for answers, and their questions about justice. I’m deeply grateful for the work of Trinity Church (I have been for years) and for the men and women who worked with these students to make this project happen. Do yourself a favor and carve some time to listen to the whole series. You won’t regret it... the last moments of the series are heartbreaking and yet so full of hope. ❤️
Well done
Really impressed by the kids who created this. Very well done and eye opening.
A MUST listen!!
This is an incredibly produced, educational, upsetting, uplifting and empowering podcast series created by high school kids in New York City. You can binge the whole thing in 40 minutes. Just try listening for a minute, you won’t be able to stop.
