Warren, a graduate of the College of Arts and Sciences and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, and his wife, Hannah Ayers, directed, edited and produced “An Outrage.” The film studies the scale and scope of lynching in the American South, and its many echoes today, through visits to lynching sites and encounters with descendants of victims and activists working to memorialize the killings.
