Predators is a gripping documentary that delves into the rise, cultural impact, and controversial downfall of NBC's To Catch a Predator, the infamous Dateline series that aired from 2004 to 2007. Directed by David Osit, the film uncovers raw, unaired footage from the show's sting operations—where adult decoys posed as minors to lure potential child predators to a staged house for on-camera confrontations by host Chris Hansen and subsequent arrests. Through interviews with Hansen, the decoys, and survivors, as well as examinations of copycat vigilante efforts, Osit probes the ethical dilemmas of turning justice into spectacle: the psychological toll on perpetrators, the voyeuristic appeal for viewers, and the blurred lines between accountability and exploitation. Structured in three acts mirroring cycles of crime, punishment, and cultural obsession, the film challenges audiences to confront their own complicity in true-crime entertainment.
