True Crime
This theme focuses on key characteristics of True Crime in its various forms in an attempt to explore why people continue to be fascinated by it as well as the ethics of making tragedies into entertainment. As an additional focus, we look at methodology: how do we work with non-fiction? And what do we do when fiction and non-fiction cross over?
