I have finally gotten around to creating a true crime documentary master post. These are just a few of my favourite true crime documentaries. Click the name to watch the movie. All descriptions are taken from IMDB:
The Thin Blue Line: A film that successfully argued that a man was wrongly convicted for murder by a corrupt justice system in Dallas County, Texas.
Dear Zachary: A filmmaker decides to memorialize a murdered friend when his friend’s ex-girlfriend announces she is expecting his son.
Into the Abyss: Conversations with death row inmate Michael Perry and those affected by his crime serve as an examination of why people - and the state - kill.
Capturing the Friedmans:Documentary on the Friedmans, a seemingly typical, upper-middleclass Jewish family whose world is instantly transformed when the father and his youngest son are arrested and charged with shocking and horrible crimes.
This gripping film explores the events of that shocking triple homicide that rocked the town and set off a politically charged death-penalty trial. The result is a disturbing revelation of police failures and untold personal dramas that point out the biggest tragedy of all: the crime could have been prevented at many turns.
A documentary about juveniles who are serving life in prison without parole and their victims’ families.
Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer: Nick Broomfield’s second documentary on Aileen Carol Wuornos, a highway prostitute who was executed in 2002 for killing six men in the state of Florida. This second installment includes the filmmaker’s testimony at Wournous’s trial.
Talhotblond: This is the true story of a love triangle that takes place entirely online. Lies lead to murder in real life, as a teenage vixen (screen name ‘talhotblond’) lures men into her web. Revealing a shocking true crime story that shows the Internet’s power to unleash our most dangerous fantasies.
The Central Park Five: A documentary that examines the 1989 case of five black and Latino teenagers who were convicted of raping a white woman in Central Park. After having spent between 6 and 13 years each in prison, a serial rapist confessed to the crime.
West of Memphis: An examination of a failure of justice in the case against the West Memphis Three.
Paradise Lost: 1)2)3): A horrific triple child murder leads to an indictment and trial of three nonconformist boys based on questionable evidence.
Cropsey: Realizing the urban legend of their youth has actually come true; two filmmakers delve into the mystery surrounding five missing children and the real-life boogeyman linked to their disappearances.
Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temples:Featuring never-before-seen footage, this documentary delivers a startling new look at the Peoples Temple, headed by preacher Jim Jones who, in 1978, led more than 900 members to Guyana, where he orchestrated a mass suicide via tainted punch.
