Tales of the Grim Sleeper: Directed by Nick Broomfield, Barney Broomfield, Marc Hoeferlin. With Nick Broomfield, Lonnie David Franklin Jr., Donna, Steve. Nick Broomfield digs into the case of the notorious serial killer known as the Grim Sleeper, who terrorized South Central Los Angeles over a span of twenty-five years.

“Itu0026#39;s not bad – it shows that LAPD are incompetent, and that in South Central life is very cheap indeed. Usual Broomfield faux-incompetence. Canu0026#39;t quite prove the allegation that LAPD were complicit rather than incompetent in the non-arrest of a prodigious serial killer.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe impressive thing is the interviews, which Broomfield plays down. He can have people who were hurling insults at him tearfully recollecting, or admitting their own complicity as they realise they cleaned bloodstains or found victims.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;m surprised some local tough guy didnu0026#39;t take him out, there seems to be a strange reliance on the police, who no-one remotely trusts for anything else, to solve the problem of a serial killer in the neighbourhood – looks like local people who werenu0026#39;t related to the victims didnu0026#39;t care any more than the LAPD.”
