Double Lives

Love and Hate CrimeSeries 1
Episode 1 of 3

Documentary series about hate crime in the US. This episode tells the story of a young man who is sentenced to life in prison for the murder of the woman he loved.

A young man is led into court and sentenced to life for the savage murder of the woman he loved. The camera follows him into prison, where he starts to explain his story and how he reacted with blind rage when he found out a secret his girlfriend was holding from him. But is he telling the truth, and what really happened? Slowly his story unravels as more and more information is found out about him.

Filmed with amazing access to the killer in prison and in court, the film tells the story of a hate crime and the danger of being different in the USA. The film also traces the victim's story through speaking to the police, others who investigated the murder and those who were close to her.
