Predators

dir. David Osit/USA/2025/96 min.

The film ”Predators” focuses on the legacy of the controversial NBC Dateline television series ”To Catch a Predator”, which created the template for paedophile hunters, making it a popular form of citizen activism. How are we complicit by consuming true crime programmes, or documentaries about them, which trade in public humiliation and shame.
