Tales of the Grim Sleeper
“25 years. Hundreds of victims. Justice for none.”
CrimeDocumentary
When Lonnie Franklin Jr. was arrested in South Central Los Angeles in 2010 as the suspected murderer of a string of young black women, police hailed it as the culmination of 20 years of investigations. Four years later documentary filmmaker Nick Broomfield took his camera to the alleged killer’s neighborhood for another view.
VIBE
This documentary feels like a raw, unflinching look at a community grappling with decades of violence and systemic neglect. It's a somber, frustrating, and deeply unsettling experience that questions the very nature of justice.
