In the depths of an Atlanta forest, a clash between activists and authorities ended in tragedy.
But the official narrative doesn't add up.
We Came to the Forest,
a new investigative podcast from Wondery Campsite Media
and Tenderfoot TV peels back the layers of secrecy surrounding a deadly confrontation that shook a community
to its core.
Through exclusive recordings and never before released eyewitness accounts,
host Matthew Scher exposes the hidden truths behind a nighttime shootout that left one activist dead
and countless lives forever changed.
As we dig deeper, we uncover a web of conflicting testimonies, missing evidence,
and allegations of a cover up reaching the highest levels of law enforcement.
From the idealistic dreams of young environmentalists to the complex motivations of local officials,
this story challenges our understanding of justice,
activism and the lengths people will go to protect what they believe in.
