Free screening! Presented with the Jonathan B. Murray Center for Documentary Journalism.

Details About the Film

In the early 2000s, Dateline NBC’s To Catch a Predator claimed to catch child predators by luring them to a film set before interviewing and arresting them on camera. This public humiliation proved to be a hit and spawned an industry of copycat vigilantes, inspired by host Chris Hansen’s self-appointed role as moral crusader. Predators forensically peels back the layers of the show’s legacy, speaking with those behind the scenes of the original and the clickbait spinoffs. This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director David Osit, moderated by Robert Greene, Filmmaker-in-Chief at the Jonathan B. Murray Center for Documentary Journalism.

Content warning: This film contains discussions of child sexual abuse and suicide.

Please note that FREE tickets for the public will be available at the Ragtag Box Office starting Monday, April 20 at 12PM. 

No more than two free tickets will be given to one person.

A free ticket guarantees you a seat until 10 minutes before showtime and not after. If all tickets have been distributed and there are open seats at 10 till, we will start seating the theater from the waiting list (queue). Ticket holders will continue to be admitted at this time if seats are available. This policy allows us to start on time and give the audience a distraction-free experience.
