Thought Crimes (2015) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 2015, Thought Crimes is a documentaire film directed by Erin Lee Carr, running about 81 minutes. “A probing look into the potential future of "thought policing" through the headline-making case of the NYPD "Cannibal Cop".” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Dubbed “The Cannibal Cop,” former NYPD officer Gilberto Valle was convicted of conspiring to kidnap and eat women in March 2013. Valle had argued it was all a fantasy, but the prosecution’s narrative convinced jurors otherwise. His story made headlines not only for its chilling details, but also because of its landmark decision regarding a man many consider “patient zero” in a growing thought-police trend across the nation. Featuring unprecedented, intimate interviews with Valle and his family, as well as insights from lawyers, journalists, psychological professionals and criminal experts, THOUGHT CRIMES: THE CASE OF THE CANNIBAL COP explores this complicated case, asking if someone can be found guilty for his or her most dangerous thoughts.
