BACKGROUND ON THIS JOINT PROJECT

For more than a year, FRONTLINE and our reporting partners at ProPublica and the New Orleans Times-Picayune have worked together to investigate several questionable police shootings in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

In pursuit of the truth, our reporters have used an array of tools -- from shoe-leather reporting to social networking -- to uncover these stories and report them on our websites, with photos, video, documents and audio recordings. (Visit ProPublica's and the Times-Picayune's Law & Disorder websites.)
