In 1946, my great-grandfather killed a black man named Bill Spann and faced no consequences. This is the opening line of Travis Wilkerson’s highly praised documentary, DID YOU WONDER WHO FIRED THE GUN?, which embarks on a journey through the American South to reveal the truth behind this dreadful event and the cultural norms that permitted it. As both narrator and guide, Wilkerson weaves a chilling and unusual narrative, blending elements from TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, music by Janelle Monáe and Phil Ochs, and Rosa Parks’ investigation into the Recy Taylor case, along with his own family’s story, to deliver a compelling exploration of our shared history and its lingering impact today.
