12 Shocking Documentaries That Will Change How You See The World
9. Making A Murderer (2015)
Making A Murderer is the true crime documentary series that shocked, captivated and upset people to equal measure in 2015. The Netflix show told the story of Steven Avery who served 18 years in prison for the sexual assault and attempted murder of Penny Beernstsen, a crime that he did not commit. Once out of prison, he was then charged and convicted with the murder of Teresa Halbach, a crime that matched his DNA to the blood in her car.
Avery is adamant that he was yet again set up, and if you haven’t seen it, watch and discover for yourselves. Making a Murderer is the story of a jilted man whose convictions follow him around: is he terribly unlucky or a part of something much bigger?
Making a Murderer is the kind of show that makes you question the forces supposedly there to protect you and the justice system that reigns supreme. It makes you fearful of those around you and the potential that you too could end up with a lifetime in prison as an innocent person.
