A Social Injustice Documentary

Murdered on the Fourth of July explores how years of mounting tensions between multicultural, anti-racist skinheads and white neo-Nazi groups led to two brutal murders in the desert of Las Vegas on July 4, 1998, including that of a Black poet, punk rocker, and new father, Lin “Spit” Newborn, and how the crime impacted the culture and community locally and globally.
