Host Nancy Miller sits down with creator/executive producer/writer/director Antonio Campos in a wide-ranging discussion covering how he first conceived of this project more than a decade ago after sitting in the courtroom during the Michael Peterson trial, how his vision for the material morphed from a feature film to an HBO Max series as the real-life story continued to grow, and the challenges of telling a factual story when truth itself remains so elusive. The episode also features a discussion with actress Toni Collette, who plays Kathleen Peterson, about giving a voice to such a tragic figure.
