Why watch this film?
The documentary follows the true story of Chris Watts, who confessed to killing his pregnant wife Shanann Watts and their two daughters in August 2018 in the United States. The events are narrated through security camera footage, social media photos, and text messages. It's a hard movie to watch - especially since it's about a real crime - both for the way it's made and the way it invades Shannan Watts' personal life as it tries to find the motive behind Chris Watts' murder of his family.

What Jennifer Did
Netflix's true crime documentaries are as successful as they are predictable: a case is presented, something doesn't add up, a new revelation emerges, controversy or shock ensues. The same goes for What Jennifer Did, a documentary that delves into the controversial case of Jennifer Pan in Canada during 2010. If you remember it from the news, you already know what the story is about. And if not, you'll soon find out: the documentary follows the same true crime formula, so expect twists and surprises in the narrative.
