It’s 2006 and despite its unconventional methods, To Catch a Predator is a US TV hit. When executives decide to move the show to a primetime slot, Hansen and his production team must up the ante to keep their audience, no matter the cost.
The narrative feature debut from documentary filmmaker Lance Oppenheim revisits the media culture of the early noughties, before the news landscape fractured, when a primetime slot felt like a matter of life or death. For some, it was.
Oppenheim is also one half of the directing duo of the highly anticipated You Can See Everything, an upcoming documentary on the notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes.
