The Preppy Murder: Death in Central Park

—Directed by Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg (directors of Reversing Roe and Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work), The Preppy Murder: Death in Central Park takes a deeper look into the murder of Jennifer Levin, exposes evidence that was inadmissible in the trial and looks into the circumstances that made the story unfold the way it did. America's untamed ambition in the mid-1980s, the rarified lifestyle of New York's privileged prep school kids, sexism, elitism, an all-out tabloid media war that blamed the victim and an imperfect justice system.
