A cultural sensation from its inception in the early 2000s, Dateline NBC’s candid-camera investigative series To Catch a Predator was a queasily compulsive series that ensnared sex offenders and lured them to a film set, where they would be interviewed and arrested while cameras rolled. The show was a hit and transformed its host Chris Hansen into a moral crusader and TV star, while spawning a worldwide industry of imitators and vigilantes. But, why did audiences watch so voraciously — and why do audiences continue to devour its web-based, clickbait-driven offshoots?
Directed by David Osit (Mayor, Thank You For Playing), ‘PREDATORS’ is a chilling, edge of your seat documentary that delves into the murk of human nature to observe hunter, predator, subject and spectator alike, all ensnared in a complicated web of entertainment as far as the eye can see.
Looking back on the show and the countless franchises it spawned, filmmaker David Osit turns his camera on journalists, actors, law enforcers, academics, and ultimately himself in the Predator trailer to trace America’s obsession with watching people at their lowest.
