Some stories are too powerful to remain untold. Walk With Me, a new mini-series making waves on platforms like Tubi, Apple TV, Prime Video, and the TVEI Network, is not just a show—it’s a movement. And at the heart of this movement is Shawn Holiday, a man who lived through the darkest corners of the justice system and came out wielding his most powerful weapon: truth.

Inspired by Holiday’s own harrowing 15-year ordeal of wrongful imprisonment, Walk With Me tells the story of Matt Landry, a character whose emotional journey mirrors Holiday’s own. But this isn’t just a scripted retelling. Holiday doesn’t just write the story—he is the story. He steps into Landry’s shoes not as an actor pretending, but as a man reliving. The result is a performance so raw, so intimately delivered, it forces viewers to confront the brutal reality of injustice in America.

“I wanted people to see what it’s really like,” Holiday says. “Not from the outside looking in, but from the inside—where hope is hard to find, and freedom feels like a fantasy.”

A Creative Force Behind the Lens

Guiding the vision of Walk With Me is Tommy Glover, better known in music circles as Roxe Karvell. As Executive Producer and Director, Glover brings a polished cinematic edge to the series. His background as a recording artist and actor—known for I Get This Feeling (produced by Jim Jonsin), The Next Hit, and Eviction Notice—adds a multi-dimensional richness to the project.

“Tommy understood what I wanted to say,” says Holiday. “He didn’t try to glamorize it. He let the truth lead.”

Shot entirely in Atlanta, the series is steeped in the city’s vibrant culture, serving as both a backdrop and a silent character in the story. From the worn-out prison corridors to the sun-drenched streets of freedom, Atlanta becomes a canvas of pain, resilience, and rebirth.

Faces That Speak Volumes

Joining the cast is Tonie Washington, who delivers a heartfelt performance as Carrie Capers, Matt’s unwavering supporter through his darkest years. Washington’s portrayal of a woman torn between hope and heartbreak adds a powerful emotional counterweight to the narrative.

The series also taps into multi-generational appeal with appearances from Dexter Tucker (brother of Chris Tucker), DeJuan Guy (Baby Boy, Candyman, In Living Color), and a wave of social media influencers who lend a contemporary voice to timeless themes.

Behind the Scenes: A Distribution Power Move

While Walk With Me was birthed by New Magic Productions—a company already known for bold content like Jones Sisters Secrets, Bridal & Beyond, and The Swift—its reach is being amplified by Mann Robinson Distribution, LLC. Their partnership ensures the series doesn’t just reach audiences—it impacts them.

“We’re not just distributing entertainment,” says a rep from Mann Robinson Distribution. “We’re sharing a human experience that needs to be felt and understood.”

More Than a TV Series—A Statement

Beyond television, Walk With Me is making its presence felt in real-world spaces. Glover is a featured panelist at Minding Your Business: The Formula Music Conference, a major event running through June that explores the intersections of music, storytelling, and social impact.

As viewers continue to flock to the series, early reviews echo a consistent message: Walk With Me isn’t just something to watch. It’s something to witness.

And for Shawn Holiday, it’s not the end of a story—it’s the beginning of justice finally having a voice.
