Thirteen Girls

Each fictionalized narrative is based on a real victim of a serial killer, and each is told from a different perspective – a mother, a shrink, a cop, a sister – to reveal the afterlife of murder through the people it affects most deeply. Stacked against the emotional power of personal testimony, this is a psychological portrait of murder, an unblinking descent that illuminates a cultural obsession with violence and the need for “closure” that persists in the hearts and minds of those who live in its wake.
