The Jeffrey Dahmer Files
Directed by Chris James Thompson
What drives a seemingly mundane man to commit a series of acts so heinous that it captured the attention of a horrified nation? In the summer of 1991 Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested in Milwaukee and sentenced to 957 years in prison for killing 17 people and dismembering their bodies. THE JEFFREY DAHMER FILES explores this Midwestern city by meeting those surrounding Dahmer during and after his hidden spree. Recollections, archival footage and everyday scenes from Dahmer’s life work collectively to disassemble the facade of an ordinary man leading an ordinary existence.

love it
Not bad. Born and raised here in WI. I watched the trial as it happened. This did fill you in as to what happened. I was not a fan of Det. Kennedy. He portrayed himself like a rock star. He didn't seem so cocky during the time all this was going on. Otherwise not a bad doc. You can get more info on Dahmer via interviews and FBI files if you want more detail.
Insanely well done doc and equally insane human. Anyone hungry?
I’d rather watch Jeffery Dahmer interviews... I will give it credit giving you a feeling like you were right there in the middle of the time he got busted
