Ohio State Murders

Ohio State Murders is an unusual look at the destructiveness of racism in the U.S. When Suzanne Alexander, a fictional African American writer, returns to Ohio State University to talk about the violence in her writing, a dark mystery unravels.

Directed by Kenny Leon, Ohio State Murders leans on a strong ensemble — Audra McDonald, Warner Miller, Lizan Mitchell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2021.
