"She said, 'things were bad…'" Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for an intense true-crime documentary film titled American Murder: The Family Next Door, an 82 min feature film debuting on Netflix this month. Shanann Watts and her two young daughters went missing in Frederick, Colorado. As details of their deaths made headlines worldwide, it became clear that Shanann’s husband, Chris Watts, wasn’t the man he appeared to be. Experience a gripping and immersive examination of the disintegration of a marriage. It is one of the first films "to give a voice to the victims." Filmmaker Jenny Popplewell spent days with Shanann's parents and brother in North Carolina and it was with their blessing that she was able to look through Shanann's personal laptop and phone. This never before seen footage truly gives a voice to Shanann and her daughters instead of their killer – a "refreshing new take" on true crime. This looks chilling and fascinating.
