Burden Of Proof Trailer Is Out

Mumbai, 29th May 2023 (NewsHelpline) - HBO drops the official trailer for a disturbing and chilling drama series titled Burden of Proof, from filmmaker Cynthia Hill.

This docu-drama is based on a real cold case, but it's shot and presented as a documentary style with recreations and slick cinematography that makes it all look like a fictional HBO series.

Decades after his sister disappeared, a brother is determined to find the truth no matter the cost. Shot in cinema verité over seven years, the series unfolds in real time. It focuses on a man named Stephen who launches his own investigation into what he fears may have transpired in his parents' house back in 1987 the night his sister Jennifer vanished and a suspicious handwritten note left as the only clue.

A rich, complicated narrative emerges while Stephen is left to wonder the price he has paid by pursuing this painful search for closure. Another of these true crime offerings for everyone addicted to horrible stories from America. This looks quite unsettling to watch.

It's produced by Christine Delp and Field of Vision + The Concordia Fellowship for HBO Documentary Films.
