Jay-Z’s long awaited docu-series, “Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story” will make its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 20.
The six-part production explores the events leading up to the killing of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager at the hands of then neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman. (Zimmerman was later acquitted of second-degree murder.) Jay-Z teamed up with Paramount network to tell the tragic story based on the book written by Trayvon’s parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, of the same title. The effects of Martin’s death and Zimmerman’s acquittal eventually spearheaded the Black Lives Matter movement.
Jay-Z serves as an executive producer alongside Trayvon’s parents and Chachi Senior, Michael Gasparro, Jenner Furst, Julia Willoughby Nason and Nick Sandow. The project is one of the first major new series for Paramount Network, which rebranded from its former name, Spike TV.
“This is an important American story,” Carter said in a prior statement. “We’re honored that Trayvon’s family has entrusted us to share the truth with the world. Thank you, again, to Paramount Network/Spike TV for being brave enough to partner with us and tell these complex narratives. It’s through these conversations that we can begin to heal.”

A conversation with co-directors Julia Willoughby Nason and Jenner Furst, the parents of Martin, executive producers Mike Gasparro and Chachi Senior, and special guest (maybe Jay-Z) will proceed following the screening.
The Tribeca Film Festival takes place April 18-29. Individual tickets to screenings go on sale March 27, at 11 a.m.
