"A documentary that works as a remedy to the narrow ways in which we categorize and understand crime. By thoroughly examining the occurrence and fallout from a single shooting, director and producer Brad Lichtenstein dismantles our fixed understandings of shootings, victimhood, and justice. It's a rare film that demonstrates how we might compassionately address issues through a deeper understanding of their nature."

2022 Emmy® Winner for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking, When Claude Got Shot follows five years in the life of Claude Motley as he tries to recover mentally and physically from being shot in the face by carjacker Nathan King, a 15 year-old boy at the time. Diverted from his legal career, Claude must persist through multiple surgeries, catastrophic health care bills and stress on his family while remaining engaged in the criminal justice journey determining his shooter's fate. Torn between punishment and the injustice of mass incarceration of young black men, Claude reflects on his own life and it's similarity to Nathan's. As he struggles to heal, mentally and physically, he ultimately discovers that the path to recovery leads to forgiveness.
