In the heart of the Bronx, a high school became the scene of a tragic stabbing that left one teenager dead and another's life forever altered. This documentary investigates the complex case of Abel Cedeno, an 18-year-old student who claimed self-defense after fatally stabbing classmate Matthew McCree and injuring another. Was this a desperate act from a long-bullied teen pushed too far, or a cold-blooded murder? We present the conflicting accounts, from Abel's harrowing testimony of relentless harassment, including disturbing threats and physical assaults, to Matthew's family's insistence that he was no bully and no gang member. The documentary examines the public and media's polarizing reactions, the legal battle waged by Abel's attorney to prove justification, and the allegations of a school system failing to protect its most vulnerable students from escalating violence and gang influence. Hear firsthand accounts and explore the hidden truths within a story that ignited a city and sparked national conversations about school safety, bullying, and justice. This is the untold story of the Bronx school stabbing, where the line between victim and perpetrator blurred. This is the programme 'Love and Hate Crime'.
