Intense Trailer for Docu-Series NO ONE SAW A THING Explores Small Town Vigilantism

This is one of those stories that you may think is pretty farfetched… if it weren’t true. From Blumhouse, the producers of The Jinx (another fantastically crazy doc you must see), the series follows the small town of Skidmore, Missouri, where a group of around 60 people took justice into their own hands.

The gang confronted the town bully in front of the local bar, where one person shot him dead in broad daylight. His wife told the police who shot him, but the rest of the town said they were there, and didn’t see a thing… So no one was charged.

While this man may have been a scourge on the town, and some say he deserved it, was this a slippery slope? Since then, other mysterious deaths have occurred throughout the town, and no one knows a thing. Check out the trailer below, and watch the documentary series No One Saw a Thing this week, Thursday, August 1st on the Sundance Channel.

NO ONE SAW A THING examines an unsolved and mysterious death in the American Heartland and the corrosive effects of vigilantism in small-town America. The case garnered international attention in the early 1980s after a resident was shot dead in front of almost 60 townspeople. These witnesses deny having seen anything, to this very day.
