Plot

The story of the real-life case of David Graham and Diane Zamora.

Controversy

The film was broadcast prior to trial, which raised the objections of the lawyers for the defendants, as they were concerned that it may prevent the defendants from receiving a fair trial. The parents of the victim also raised objections about the film.[1]
