- Summary:
- Amid the George Floyd uprising, Brandon Scott, a young reform-minded leader, is elected mayor of Baltimore. His goal is to reduce gun violence in the city through a new, public health-focused, community-led approach, rather than relying solely on policing, as other leaders have done. With unfettered access, The Body Politic follows him and his team of young community leaders throughout their first year in City Hall, revealing their ambitious plan to lower the city's violence rate and challenge a long history of racism. As opposition mounts, Mayor Scott's commitment to his principles puts his political future in jeopardy. Cameras continue to follow to see if his holistic plan will lead to healing in Baltimore — and maybe even reveal a pathway forward for the nation.
