Who Killed Atlanta's Children?

Watch Trailer
2000 · 105 min Crime Drama TV Movie
5.5 / 10 · TMDB

From 1979 to 1981, 29 African-American males, mostly children, were either missing or found murdered in metro Atlanta. The cases plagued the city until 1982, when Wayne Wiiliams was convicted of the murders of two adult men. Authorities then considered the other cases closed. Some of the parents of the slain children were critical of the way the cases were handled and believed there was some sort of cover up. Nearly four years after the conviction of Williams, "Spin" magazine editor Ron Larson and reporter Pat Laughlin come to Atlanta in search of the truth.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative as a meticulous journalistic investigation, relying on the chilling facts of the real case. It explores not just the crimes themselves, but the profound social trauma, institutional failure, and the desperate search for closure that followed.

What lingers after viewing is a profound unease about the elusive nature of truth and the systems meant to protect it. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Charles Robert Carner
