Marta Cunningham

The story

Investigating the case, Cunningham felt compelled to challenge what she perceived as a homophobic portrayal of King in the mainstream media. She began attending McInerney's pre-trial motions and hearings. "The more she looked into the case, the more she uncovered a web of complications and nuance that just wasn’t being given a fair hearing by the media, let alone the courts." Embedding herself in the city of Oxnard, California, Cunningham spent five years developing trust with the community and accumulating over 350 hours of footage.
