Still My Baby is a powerful, intimate limited series that tells the untold story of one of the most pivotal moments in modern American history - the murder of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Told from the perspective of Lezley McSpadden, Mike Brown’s mother, this is not a courtroom drama or a political explainer. It’s a portrait of Mike’s family told by those closest to him. The series traces the years before August 9, 2014, when Lezley was a young mom and Mike was just a funny, big-hearted kid. Then, everything changed. And in the deafening noise that followed - public shaming, national outrage, and a 400+ day uprising - one family was left behind, trying to pick up the pieces in private. We look at what happened to that family in the immediate aftermath of Mike’s killing, how they longed for the ordinary after tragedy hit, and we’ll see how they built themselves back to where they are today.

    Justice for Mike Mike

    In this powerful series finale, we track the evolution of Lezley’s grief to understand how she rebuilt her life piece by piece, navigating pain and hope while supporting her children. Fueled by love and resilience, Lezley’s journey leads to a fierce call to activism, driving her fight to reopen Mike’s case and demand the justice her family deserves. This final episode is a testament to healing, strength, and the unyielding power of a mother’s love. This series was created in partnership with Campaign Zero, a nonprofit organization that develops data-driven policy solutions to end police violence in America.
