72 Hours: True Crime

2004–2009 · 3 seasons

A sober, procedural look at real investigations, mixing reenactments with documentary footage to create a tense but educational experience.

Genres
Documentary, Mystery, Crime
Overview
72 Hours: True Crime focuses on crime, specifically on the first 72 hours after a crime is committed, a critical time period for solving it. Rather than focus on fictional crimes, as do Law & Order and other TV shows elsewhere, True Crime depicted actual crimes that occurred throughout Canada, using dramatic reenactments and documentary-style footage of crime scenes.
