Today I want to feature a film that anyone who enjoys true crimes will find interesting. The film “What Jennifer Did” came out on Netflix April 10th and has only been out a handful of days. However, the movie is already showing as #1 on the streaming platform.
It was a violent crime that shook a quiet Canadian town: Mysterious intruders break into the home of Vietnamese immigrants, terrorize the family, and leave a traumatized daughter as the only witness. Neighbors and friends describe the family as hospitable, generous, and hard-working – how could they be targets? This feature-length documentary from director Jenny Popplewell (American Murder: The Family Next Door) uses police interrogation footage and testimony from those involved to unravel a web of complexities that no one saw coming.
Netflix Synopsis
The chilling documentary kicks off with an urgent 911 call made by Jennifer Pan in 2010. She called authorities to report a horrific scene at her home where her mother was tragically shot to death and her father critically wounded. The footage of this distressing call is played in the opening minutes of the documentary. The film is a gripping 86 minutes where a story unfolds that’s more harrowing and disturbing than anyone had originally imagined. Directors for the film were able to obtain footage from the interrogation room which gave them indispensable insight into the mind of Jennifer Pan.
Viewer Beware-
Some reports are claiming the film utilizes AI technology without disclosing that information in the credits.
“What Jennifer Did” has been streaming since April 10th and is available now to watch on Netflix.
