THE CASE AGAINST ADNAN SYED (2019)
Documentary Series. HBO.
The 1999 murder of 18-year-old Baltimore County high school student Hae Min Lee, and the subsequent conviction of her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, were brought to global attention in 2014 by the hugely popular “Serial” podcast. But there is more to the story.
The Case Against Adnan Syed reinvestigates the case behind the podcast, from the genesis of their high school relationship to the original police investigation and trial, and moves into the current day. The absorbing four-part documentary series is directed by Amy Berg (West of Memphis, the Oscar-nominated Deliver Us from Evil). Watch the trailer here.
