Directed by Lance Oppenheim
In 2006, To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen sets out to make television history. When a high stakes operation goes fatally wrong, his veneered dream of fame curdles into a nightmare of performative justice.
Why it matters
A meticulous reconstruction of the To Catch a Predator phenomenon, examining how Hansen's moral certainty curdled into a ratings machine. The film's power lies in its refusal to let the audience feel superior to the men on screen.
