Hi frontline listeners, I'm Rainy Aronson, Executive Producer of Frontline.

Today we're sharing episode one of our new investigative podcast series, Unresolved.

It's the story of a federal initiative to investigate over 150 unsolved killings from the civil rights era.

We ask what prompted the government to try to write the wrongs of the past,

and we investigate what justice looks like for the families of the victims.

Across five episodes, host and reporter James Edwards looks into a few of these cases.

He speaks with families whose loved ones were killed and reflects on his own family story.

I hope you enjoy episode one of Unresolved.
