  • The Crime Writer

    The true story of a journalist who was sued for fraud by a convicted murderer after appearing to befriend the defendant during his trial while secretly writing a scathing bestseller that would go on to portray him as a sociopathic monster.

    A little more than a decade after the Watergate story brought down a president, MacDonald vs. McGinniss served as a bookend on an era when reporters were accorded near superhero status. It also marked the pivotal moment in American culture when the initial seeds of public skepticism of the press were first widely sewn—from which we can draw a direct line to the Fake News dog whistles of today.

  • Black, White and Jewish

    A series based on the book by Rebecca Walker, daughter of the author and activist, Alice Walker (The Color Purple).

    But after her parents divorced, leaving her a lonely only child ferrying between two worlds that only seemed to grow further apart, Rebecca was no longer sure what she represented.
