The last few years could be considered a Golden Age for true crime documentary films & docuseries; we help illuminate the truly compelling offerings in our list of the 20 best on Netflix:
, the Netflix miniseries / theatrical film from documentarian Errol Morris, covers many topics: the untimely death of a father and the havoc such an event wreaks on his offspring; the CIA’s history of experimenting with mind-controlling drugs like LSD; journalistic ethics and the responsibility a reporter has to his or her sources.
Morris himself is well aware of the conundrum he’s got himself and his viewers in while trying to piece together the circumstances of how, exactly, biological warfare scientist and CIA employee Frank Olson’s life came to a sudden, bloody end when he plummeted 13 stories from a hotel room window in New York in November 1953. And he’s trying a different strategy to get to the bottom of it.
The project becomes a lesson in struggling to determine just how much distrust we can still have for the very people we’re supposed to trust to get the answers we need. Clinical psychologist Eric Olson knows he shouldn’t believe the government, particularly when they come forward decades later to explain some of the circumstances of his dad’s death.
