FILM: Citizen Sleuth

Virtual Q&A with Director Chris Kasick After the Screening

Citizen Sleuth follows Emily Nestor and her “Mile Marker 181” podcast, as she conducts an amateur murder investigation into the death of Jaleayah Davis. The film examines the ethics of the true crime genre through Emily’s pursuits of her top suspects. With a growing audience of millions, Emily’s podcast becomes a hit, but as she probes deeper into the case, she’s confronted with a new truth she struggles to tell her listeners. Told in real time, Citizen Sleuth chronicles the rise, fall and redemption of a podcaster in the new media landscape.
