Introducing The Fault Line: Dying for a Fight
Portland-based anti-fascist Sean Kealiher was killed in 2019, months before the uprising that would bring Portland international attention.
Nearly two years later, his homicide remains unsolved. His mother, Laura, believes she hasn't received justice because of police hatred for her son and his politics.
Dying For A Fight, the second instalment in Somethin’ Else’s Fault Line series, goes in search of answers: What happened the night Sean was killed? Why have no arrests been made? Who are the Americans living at the political extremes? And how did things escalate from Portland to the Capitol?
This is a Somethin' Else and Oregon Public Broadcast production.
