“In 1946, my great-grandfather murdered a black man named Invoice Spann and received away with it.” So begins Travis Wilkerson’s critically acclaimed documentary, DID YOU WONDER WHO FIRED THE GUN?, which takes us on a journey via the American South to uncover the reality behind a horrific incident and the societal mores that allowed it to occur. Appearing as narrator and information, Wilkerson spins an odd, scary story, incorporating scenes from TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, the music of Janelle Monáe and Phil Ochs, and the story of Rosa Parks’ investigation into the Recy Taylor case, in addition to his family historical past, for a gripping investigation into our collective previous and its echoes into the current day.
