About Philly D.A. Join award-winning documentary filmmakers Ted Passon, Yoni Brook, and Nicole Salazar as they take viewers into the office of progressive Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner as he and his team of outsiders work to transform the criminal justice system from the inside.
This eight-part series captures Krasner’s dramatic first year in office and documents the day-to-day struggles of trying to change the entrenched criminal justice system. Krasner and his team drew national headlines as they pushed for reforms such as prosecuting police misconduct and brutality, rethinking sentencing, reforming probation and parole, minimizing the use of cash bail, and ending pursuit of the death penalty.
Philly D.A. premieres on KIXE PBS Independent Lens on Tuesday, April 20th at 9:00PM, and continues Tuesdays at 9:00PM through June 1st. Episodes will stream live on KIXE.org, and available to stream on PBS.org and PBS Passport, a KIXE PBS membership benefit.
