Premiering Thursday, November 8 at 10pm ET/PT on AT&T video platforms including DIRECTV Ch. 239, U-verse TV Ch. 1114, DIRECTV NOW, and WatchTV is the AT&T AUDIENCE Network Documentary ‘Give Us This Day,’ which tracks a year in the lives of three police officers and three residents living in East St. Louis, the city with the highest homicide rate in the United States.
Directed, written, and produced By Emmy, Peabody and International Documentary Association award-winning filmmakers Jeff Zimbalist and Michael Zimbalist (“The Two Escobars,” “Favela Rising”), this feature-length documentary explores the humanity in each of these six lives as they intersect, develop and transform.
A police chief attempts to lower the homicide rate amidst political obstacles and a decreasing number of officers. A 12-year-old African-American boy sets his sights on becoming a police officer, risking alienation from his peers. A young hustler’s dream of leaving the streets and pursuing a legitimate career is challenged by an immediate need to provide for his girlfriend and baby on the way. A former LAPD officer attempts to change his aggressive ways, but struggles with his addiction to adrenaline. A high school student who almost lost his life after being shot in the head by a rival gang tries to get a college scholarship and make it out of East St Louis.
