Primetime

In 2006, journalist Chris Hansen prepared to make a significant impact with his program, "To Catch a Predator," which pushed the boundaries of television journalism. The program, which used hidden cameras and police operations, confronted adults who were attempting to meet with children online, exposing them to the cameras. The program quickly became a television phenomenon, but Hansen and his team also faced increasing attention and ethical debates surrounding the methods they employed. The film explores the program's rise to popularity and the behind-the-scenes process, examining the complex relationship between crime, media, and public opinion.
