The Killing of America - True Crime Documentary | Historical Crime Investigation | Cold Case Analysis | Perfect for True Crime Fans & History Buffs

The Killing of America is NOT an exploitation film! It is a true documentary that has something very real to say about the culture of violence in America. What exactly that something is may be up to the viewer to decide. Each viewer is bound to take something different from the content of this picture, but you can rest assured that everything it presents is 100% REAL!This documentary features exclusive and never before seen footage of a variety of historical events from the 60's through the 80's and presents them in a manner that lays out a well-defined picture of a nation gone mad! You will see some VERY disturbing footage, but it is shown in a way that provokes thought and reflection rather than relishing in the sheer brutality of it all.The picture spans events from about the early 60's (the JFK assassination), through the radical late-60's (RFK assassination, MLK assassination, Vietnam War and accompanying protests). Where this film really shines is when it delves into the numerous murderers and atrocities throughout the 70's, focusing in particular on sexually sadistic serial killers and spree killers. You will see images and hear dialogue that will expose to the dark underbelly of American culture. Unlike the run-of-the-mill crime documentaries, The Killing of America puts these heinous crimes in the frame of an overall portrait of American culture that will make you question everything you know about so-called American values.Thank goodness there is a new blu-ray for this documentary! FINALLY! After seeing it on youtube first years ago I have been wishing for an official release that does the footage justice. The new blu-ray definitely delivers the goods! Not only does is have an all-new, very crisp 2k scan of the original negative, but it features some very intriguing bonus content. I found the interview with the director very educational! My only gripe is that they couldn't find any deleted or extended scenes to include, or raw footage of when they sent camera crews to Watts or downtown L.A.Overall this film not only compiles some of the most interesting and important footage relating to violence in the last half-century, it also features some amazing original footage that is ESSENTIAL viewing for any buffs of American history or early-80's cinema. This is a very special blu-ray release so I HIGHLY recommend you buy it right away!
