FILM 1478: THOUGHT CRIMES: THE CASE
OF THE CANNIBAL COP
Dubbed "The Cannibal
Cop," Gilberto Valle was convicted in March 2013 of conspiring to kidnap
and eat young women. Valle argued it was all a fantasy; the prosecution's
narrative convinced jurors otherwise. Valle was facing a possible life sentence
when filmmaker Erin Lee Carr began visiting him in prison. After 22 months
behind bars, his conviction was overturned in a stunning reversal. Carr was
there for his release and subsequent house arrest to examine a life arrested.
But the question remains: given the chance, would he, could he, have done it?
"Thought Crimes" unravels the conflicting stories of a potentially
dangerous young man and the unexpected consequences of our online activity.
