In this documentary, Fault Lines travels to Florida and Texas to investigate two homicide cases in which "stand your ground" was used as a defense - and examines how these laws impede families’ quest for justice.
When one man shot and killed another at a cinema during an argument over a cell phone, he claimed self-defense and went free.

Critics dub them "shoot first laws" and warn that they escalate violence and embolden people to act on their fear-driven biases.
