Plot Synopsis

The body of Keith Warren, a 19-year-old Black man, was found hanging from a tree in 1986 in the woods of Silver Springs, Maryland. The police ruled it a suicide at the scene. The tree was cut down, his family was not informed for over six hours, no autopsy was performed, and no criminal investigation was ever opened. Keith's sister, Sherri, has spent the last 34 years investigating her brother's death, and looking for closure. Details about Keith's death continue to unfold as photos from the scene mysteriously emerge, leaving the family with questions about who may have been involved in his death and why they may have been trying to cover up what happened. Sherri encounters more walls within the justice system as she tried to get Keith's death certificate changed. She is closer than she's been in decades, but can one woman fight a corrupt justice system? All three episodes of UPROOTED dropped on Friday, February 18, 2022 on discovery+.
