371 Productions wins Emmy
371 Productions, a Milwaukee based media company, won an Emmy this year for their film “When Claude Got Shot.” Brad Lichtenstein, founder of 371 Productions, is also known for having directed the 2018 film, “There Are Jews Here,” among other work.
“When Claude Got Shot” was awarded the Emmy in exceptional merit in documentary filmmaking.
In Milwaukee, a 15-year-old attempted to carjack law student Claude Motley and shot him in the face, according to a PBS description. Through multiple surgeries and catastrophic health care bills, the effects of gun violence upends Claude’s life. Yet he still finds himself torn between punishment for the young man and the injustice of mass incarceration for Black men and boys. Can he find mercy in his heart for his attacker?
The 74th Annual Emmy Awards ceremony aired on Sept. 12, 2022 on NBC. “When Claude Got Shot” is streaming on Milwaukee PBS Passport. It is also joining other streaming platforms, according to 371 Productions.
