Drawing upon decades of case files, interrogation transcripts, on the ground reporting, full access to Jose Martinez and his family, along with Martinez’s own handwritten journals, The Devil’s Harvest digs into one of the most important moral questions haunting our politically divided nation today: why do some deaths-and some lives-matter more than others?
