Chris Kasick's True Crime Documentary CITIZEN SLEUTH

Citizen Sleuth, a documentary from director Chris Kasick, follows Appalachian true-crime podcaster Emily Nestor, whose hit show Mile Marker 181 delves into the mysterious death of a local woman.

As her investigation unfolds, Nestor’s storytelling begins to blur the boundary between journalism and entertainment. The documentary takes a critical look at the moral questions surrounding the true-crime phenomenon and the unintended consequences that can arise when amateurs take on real investigations.

With a massive audience listening in, Nestor’s relentless search for answers turns into a complex, self-reflective journey that forces her to reckon with her own part in the story.

Citizen Sleuth had a successful festival run where it premiered at SXSW 2023, screened at Sheffield DocFest and at IDFA, where it was highlighted in the “Best of Fests” lineup.
