From June 1962 to January 1964, in just one and a half years, 13 women were strangled to death by foreign objects in the Boston area, and most of them were sexually assaulted before their deaths. Under the madness of the media, the people of Boston fell into great panic, and people called this killer the “Boston Strangler”. No one expected that the killer would come out to confess his guilt. This person was Albert Henry DeSavo. However, the process of de Savo’s conviction is full of doubts, and it has not yet been concluded to this day. And this is also a famous judicial event in American history.
Knightley stars as Loretta McLaughlin, the first reporter to connect the murders and report the story of the Strangler, and she joins colleague Gene Cole to challenge sexism in the early 60s, reporting on Boston’s most notorious serial killer, and worked tirelessly to keep women informed. Loretta pursued the story at great personal risk and uncovered corruption that cast doubt on the true identity of the Boston Strangler.
As for other actors, Alessandro Nivola, Chris Cooper, etc. also starred. The film will be launched on the streaming platform Hulu on March 17.
