Oscar winner John Ridley (12 Years a Slave) is working on a brand new project to ABC Television. “American Crime” tackles the heavy topic of racial tension in America and its effects on American society. The show begins with a murder that becomes racially charged. The series explores the issues through the investigation, arrest and trial that follows and through the lives of all the parties involved in the crime and the trial. “American Crime” is written and produced by John Riddley and backed by ABC studios. It is set in the Central California city of Modesto but actually films in the Austin, Texas area.

All over the news are reports about a young couple in Modesto, California, who were attacked in their home. The case sends shock waves into the community stirring up tensions across racial lines in this gritty drama. – ABC Television.
