Fall River
Executive produced by triple-Oscar nominee Jason Blum (The Loudest Voice, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, Get Out, BlacKkKlansman), the documentary miniseries Fall River re-examines the 1979 murders of three young women in Fall River, Massachusetts, and the wave of satanic panic that swept the city in the ensuing weeks.
Twenty years after the case was closed, the lead investigator returns to it to lay some niggling doubts to rest.
