Casting JonBenet

In the haunting and thought-provoking documentary Casting JonBenet, twenty years after one of America's most notorious child murders, a new mystery unfolds - not about the crime itself, but what it has become to us. The film follows the casting process for re-enactments in the case, as actors are tested and interviewed to play the roles of those directly involved, revealing their emotions and speculations along the way. Through this unorthodox approach, Casting JonBenet sheds light on how a tragedy has become an enduring point of pop-cultural obsession and conspiracy, raising questions about the power of true crime stories on our culture.
