For the first time in 1991 the North American public watched the screening of a trial on television. Pamela Smart was accused of killing her husband with the help of her lover, a 16-year-old teenager. The case had a huge impact on the media, inspiring a series of books, TV programs and films. Amongst them was To Die For, with Nicole Kidman in the main role and directed by Gus Van Sant. The documentary offers a new look at the way the trial was televised and evaluates the role of the media and public opinion on the final result. Sundance Film Festival 2014.
