Loretta McLaughlin was the reporter who first connected the murders and broke the story of the Boston Strangler. She and Jean Cole challenged the sexism of the early 1960s to report on the city's most notorious serial killer.
“This film compellingly reframes the Boston Strangler narrative through the lens of two tenacious female journalists. It prioritizes the meticulous, often frustrating, pursuit of truth over sensationalized violence. The performances are subtle and powerful, showcasing investigative journalism's hard-won victories against systemic sexism and police incompetence.”
Fans of investigative journalism dramas, historical procedurals, and stories centered on female protagonists overcoming systemic obstacles.
