Predators

To Catch a Predator was a popular television show designed to hunt down child predators and lure them to a film set, where they would be interviewed and eventually arrested. Predators, a new documentary, is an exploration of the scintillating rise and staggering fall of the show and the world it helped create.

Predators director David Osit conducts a thoughtful, layered analysis of the show, its meaning, and its larger legacy — from the original series to both its sanctioned and copycat progeny. He [exposes] legally and ethically questionable tactics employed to turn vigilante justice into media spectacle, with little thought to the life-changing consequences for the perpetrators and others impacted by the program. — Basil Tsiokos
