MGM+ and director Jack Riccobono are taking us back to Amityville with the documentary Amytivlle: An Origin Story, which will explore the true story behind the world’s most infamous haunted house tale: the Amityville murders.

Netflix’s New Docuseries “Waco: American Apocalypse” Is Out Now

Netflix’s latest true crime docuseries, “Waco: American Apocalypse,” explores the infamous 51-day standoff between federal agents and a heavily armed religious group in 1993. The docuseries includes never-before-seen material from the battle between Texas law enforcement, the US military, and the religious cult, the Branch Davidians, led by David Koresh, which began on February 28, 1993, and tragically left 76 men, women, and children dead, as well as 4 ATF agents.

True Crime: Documentary ‘California’s Forgotten Children’ Examines Child Trafficking

There are many types of true crime, and many documentaries are released every year covering it. But undoubtedly, documentaries about crimes that involve children are the most disturbing. The new documentary California’s Forgotten Children explores the devastating present-day child sex trafficking that happens daily in an attempt to bring it to an end and rescue the victims. $32 billion, that’s how much sex trafficking is worth in the U.S. every year. 24.9 million, that’s how many victims are estimated to be out there worldwide.
