Airdate: American Murder: The Family Next Door

True crime documentary film American Murder: The Family Next Door screens on Netflix later this month.

I’m presuming the title gives a lot away in this one…

In 2018, 34-year-old Shanann Watts and her two young daughters went missing in Frederick, Colorado. As heartbreaking details emerged, their story made headlines worldwide. Told entirely through archival footage that includes social media posts, law enforcement recordings, text messages and never-before-seen home videos, director Jenny Popplewell pieces together an immersive and truthful examination of a police investigation and a disintegrating marriage. American Murder: The Family Next Door is the first film to give a voice to the victims.

Friday September 30 on Netflix.
