Let it Fall: Los Angeles 1982-1992 - ABC News Lincoln Square Productions

ABC News Lincoln Square Productions presents "LET IT FALL: Los Angeles 1982-1992" Artfully told and deeply reported, this documentary reconstructed the decade-long series of events leading up to the 1992 racially charged Los Angeles riots.

In 2017, Oscar-winning screenwriter John Ridley and veteran ABC News producer Jeanmarie Condon visited the Columbia Journalism School to discuss the film with professor June Cross.

In 2020, Director John Ridley and ABC News Producers Jeanmarie Condon, Melia Patria and Fatima Curry revisited the newly relevant documentary about the decade preceding the Rodney King beating. In a conversation moderated by ABC News anchor Juju Chang, the team shares how they sought out reluctant sources, gathered archival video and used character-driven narratives to illustrate the 1992 uprising.
