WATCH: “Kill. Bury. Print.” Documentary Uncovers Corruption in Small Town America

It follows a small family-run newspaper, the McCurtain Gazette, as they report on allegations of violence, drugs, and misconduct within the county sheriff’s office.

The documentary’s title comes from a secret audio recording obtained by the journalists, where local county officials were caught discussing hiring hitmen to kill and bury the reporters to prevent them from printing their stories.
