The People Left Behind

Bryana Crump finds happy memories in the North Philly apartment complex where she grew up until her father was murdered. She reflects on her healing experience, shares a message for her 11-year-old self, and explains how mentoring children of the same age has helped her become a resilient person.

This is the story of a girl who had to grow up overnight. In the season one opener, 24-year old Bryana Crump explains how she went through a devastating loss as a child.

Gun violence does not end on the crime scene. As many as 200 people can be impacted by a single shooting. What are survivors and co-victims going through, years after losing a loved one? How are they doing now? In season one of The People Left Behind, Philadelphians affected by gun violence share their stories of loss and resilience, in their own words.
