Undercurrent: The Disappearance of Kim Wall
The two-part HBO documentary Undercurrent: The Disappearance of Kim Wall tells the story of accomplished journalist Kim Wall, who went missing in 2017 while interviewing eccentric entrepreneur Peter Madsen aboard his self-made submarine in Danish waters.
Directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Erin Lee Carr (I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth V. Michelle Carter, At the Heart of Gold: Inside the USA Gymnastics Scandal), the documentary weaves together trial testimony, expert opinion, never-heard-before audio from Madsen himself, new interviews with those who knew Wall and Madsen, and commentary from the officers, scientists and journalists close to the case.
Also watch the award-winning dramatisation of the investigation in the series The Investigation on Showmax.
