KNOW ME / 3:15PM SUNDAY FEATURE

In 2012 Jimmy Moïse attacked a man on Miami's MacArthur Causeway, brutally biting parts of his face. Police shot and killed Jimmy on the scene. Sensationalized details of the attack leaked to the press, launching a national news story about a man who became a "zombie" by abusing a scary street drug called "bath salts". Across town, Jimmy's youngest brother Kenson Joseph remains unaware of his brother's sudden passing until images of his brother and insane headlines appear on every television in sight. 


This film is based on the true story of the late Rudy Eugene and his youngest brother Markenson Charles. The film was developed and co-written by Markenson Charles and continues to be produced with the input and willing participation of the Charles/Eugene family.
