American Murder: The Family Next Door
Knickerbockerglory’s feature documentary for Netflix, directed by Jenny Popplewell, examines the 2018 Watts family murders in Frederick, Colorado. Told entirely through social media posts, text messages, law enforcement body camera footage and home video, with no narrator or traditional interviews, the film pieces together the disappearance of pregnant Shanann Watts and her two young daughters and the chilling unravelling of her husband Chris’s lies. Netflix’s most watched documentary feature at the time of release, projected at 52 million households in its first 28 days.
