CROPSEY: THE URBAN LEGEND FINAL JUDGMENT More information is available over at WorldScreen.
Worldwide Television Premiere on Friday, August 13 from 9-11 PM (ET)
Growing up on Staten Island, filmmakers Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio often heard the urban legend of CROPSEY, a cautionary tale invented to keep kids out of the abandoned Willowbrook Mental Institution. But in 1987, this ghost story became all too real when a 13-year-old girl with Down syndrome went missing. Realizing that the urban legends of their youth may have actually come true, the two filmmakers delved into the mystery surrounding five missing children and the real-life boogeyman linked to their disappearances. Hot off the film festival circuit, CROPSEY is sure to deliver all of the elements of a real-life thriller that ID’s audience craves.
Worldwide Television Premiere on Friday, October 8 PM at 10 PM (ET)
Roger Weisberg and Vanessa Roth’s riveting film, No Tomorrow, makes its world television debut on ID under the title FINAL JUDGMENT. Exploring the role of media in the criminal justice system, this documentary provides commentary on the use of the death penalty. In 2005, Weisberg and Roth created Aging Out, which explored what happens to teenagers after leaving the foster care system. Tragically, it also became a chronicle of the last year of the life of one of its central characters, Risa Bejarano, who was murdered shortly after the film was released. This follow-up film looks at how the original documentary unexpectedly became the centerpiece of a dramatic trial in Judge Lance Ito’s courtroom that would determine whether the alleged killer would live or die.
