'Boston Strangler' Film Shifts Focus to Heroine Journalists, Avoids Glorifying Violence

Writer and director Matt Ruskin discusses his latest film, Boston Strangler, which tells the story of two heroine journalists who broke the story of the Boston Strangler. Ruskin opted not to glorify violence in the film and instead focused on the human-centric element of the story. He discovered the story through researching the complex case and was inspired by Loretta McLaughlin, one of the first journalists to connect the murders. Keira Knightley and Carrie Coon portray the journalists in the film.
