Screen Brum – Brum Radio

Nina Jones, filmmaker and researcher talks us through her fascination with the genre of true crime, discussing why it might be so popular and recommending some viewing for the newcomer starting with the “absolutely bananas” The Tiger King on Netflix. If your appetite for true crime is whetted, Nina suggests The Staircase on Netflix, a documentary from 2004 containing some “jaw dropping moments”.

Nina also talks about the thorny issue of the ethics of true crime filmmaking, and the moral murkiness that can sometime ensue.

Outside of crime, Nina recommends Jennifer Lopez’s brilliant Hustlers, and some comfort viewing in the form of the Harry Potter movies and a nostalgia hit with Harrison Ford in Witness.
