Directed by Lorin Morgan RichardsS7 • E1 Mar 9, 2025
The Jim McKinney story chronicles the violent and tragic life of Jim McKinney, a once-promising cowboy and teamster who spiraled into a life of crime and bloodshed. Known for his charm when sober and his volatility when drunk, McKinney became a feared outlaw across Arizona and California in the late 1800s. Narrator Lorin Morgan-Richards recounts through historical records and colorized imagery, McKinney's descent into violence, culminating in one of the last great Old West shootouts in Bakersfield, California, in 1903.
