ACTS OF VIOLENCE
Price: $250.00 Code: 1372 |
Examines the high level of deadly violence in American society focusing on three types of
murder--those of the mass murderer, the serial murderer, and the political assassin--and
analyzes not only why these acts are committed but also why they are peculiarly
American. In addition to shocking footage of some of the most notorious incidents in
recent history, the documentary includes interviews with victims and their families, law
enforcement officers, psychiatrists and psychologists.
