Predators
Directed by David Osit
Produced by Sweet Relief, Rosewater Pictures
A documentary examining a viral 2000s reality-TV phenomenon that exposed online predators while raising uncomfortable questions about spectacle, justice, and the ethics of public shaming.
In the mid-aughts, Dateline NBC's To Catch a Predator drew millions of weekly viewers to watch sting operations: men planning to meet minors for sex would instead be confronted by polished host Chris Hansen, then by the police — all on hidden camera.
