HBO Docs Club’s first episode dives into the critically acclaimed five-part docuseries Atlanta’s Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children, chronicling the Atlanta Child Murders, which occurred between 1979 and 1981, when at least 30 African-American children and young adults disappeared or were murdered in Atlanta. Hosts Brittany Luse and Ronald Young Jr. interview director Sam Pollard about his filmmaking philosophy, discussing deeply traumatic experiences with subjects, and the impact of the film after its release. They also speak with author and professor Tayari Jones about growing up as a child in Atlanta during the time of these murders, and the way those sinister events linger in the lives of those who were affected.
