An upcoming BET<\/a> documentary visits New Orleans<\/a>, Milwaukee<\/a> and Baltimore<\/a> to investigate the role that district attorneys (DAs) play in the disproportionate incarceration of people of color.<\/p>\n

\"As a prosecutor, your duty is to seek justice over convictions,\" says Marilyn Mosby<\/a>, the controversial Baltimore state’s attorney, in the trailer for \"Charged: The DA vs. Black America.\" Narrated by The Roots’ Tariq \"Black Thought<\/a>\" Trotter, the documentary pledges to explore the sentencing disparities that ground today’s widespread mass incarceration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Charged\" is the latest in BET’s \"The Truth Series\" documentaries, which investigate Black culture and history. It airs on November 7.<\/p>\n
