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.
