5 True crime documentaries that put the victims first
True crime is ‘sexy.’ It’s sensationalized. It’s a montage of black-and-white crime scene photos of a mutilated debutant, archival footage of a serial killer making a shocking confession behind bars, or exclusive interviews with upset parents who don’t understand how their son or daughter could have grown up to commit such heinous acts. It seeks to answer the why and how behind an unspeakably gruesome crime, focusing on the perpetrator’s troubled childhood or providing a timeline of all the possible events that led up to their breaking point. True crime takes our fear of the unknown, of what we don’t understand, and exploits it for all its worth – and we love it.
