The film, which recently won an award, will premiere on the second anniversary of the massacre
A new documentary, Print Blackwe will see how Uvalde Leader-News reporters covered the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in 2022. A trailer for the film, which premieres on ABC News Live and Hulu at 8 p.m. ET on May 24, shows the stress and devastation felt by staff in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, starting with reporter Kimberly Mata-Rubio, who lost her daughter, Alexandria, in the massacre.
A two-minute clip shows Mata-Rubio's grief, as well as the public cries for justice that followed the massacre, which was exacerbated by the delay of local authorities to act after the shooting began. It also shows how the paper reported the story, investigating police amid a public outcry from people hoping to move on from the tragedy. “I'm worried about my staff,” says an uncredited man, likely a publisher or editor. “I can tell they feel it and I hate it for them.”
“We are honored that Kim Rubio and his staff Uvalde Leader-News allowed our team to enter their worlds at a time of heartbreaking grief,” Cindy Galli, executive producer of the ABC News Investigative Unit, said in a statement. “This documentary is the embodiment of our initiative to stay in Uvalde and share with the world how it mourned, struggled, rose and inspired. No community should ever be defined by a tragedy that befalls it.”
The film premiered at the Dallas International Film festival earlier this month and won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary.
