Erin Lee Carr is peeling again the layers of yet one more jaw-dropping crime. With credit akin to “On the Coronary heart of Gold: Contained in the USA Gymnastics Scandal,” “I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth v. Michelle Carter,” and “Thought Crimes: The Case of the Cannibal Cop” underneath her belt, the filmmaker is about to deal with the 2017 homicide of Kim Wall, a journalist who was famously killed whereas aboard a submarine.
Wall was final seen simply earlier than interviewing Peter Madsen, a well known Danish entrepreneur, aboard his self-made submarine. “She was simply doing her job, then she ran right into a psychopath,” we’re advised in a brand new trailer for the two-part doc. Madsen emerged from the submarine. Wall didn’t. “How on earth did you assume you’d have the ability to get away with this?” one interviewee asks.
The spot touches on sexist media protection of the crime, citing examples of victim-blaming that went on, together with discussions about what Wall was sporting and why she “put herself in that place.”
“I wouldn’t have thought twice to go on that submarine as a result of it was the job that she was going to do,” one character gives. One other provides, “We will all determine with this younger lady who simply needed to do her job.”
Carr most just lately helmed Netflix’s “Britney vs Spears.”
“Undercurrent: The Disappearance of Kim Wall” debuts March 8 on HBO Max.
