Exclusive: Keshet International has boarded Channel 5’s documentary on Sarah Everard’s killer Wayne Couzens.
Wayne Couzens: Killer in Plain Sight joins the Israeli powerhouse’s catalog alongside ITV show Ellie Simmonds: My Secret Family.
Produced by an all-female team at Flicker Productions, the former, a 90-minute feature, explores the failings of the investigation into the serving Met Police Officer who used his position to rape and murder Everard in 2021. Using Couzens as a thread, the documentary examines the wider story of sexual violence in the police force, where sexual predators and domestic abusers were hidden in plain sight, to ask if women’s faith in policing can be restored while representing voices of survivors of police sexual violence.
The doc, which aired last month to 750,000 viewers on the Paramount network, came two years after the murder that sparked nationwide protests and vigils in support of women’s rights.
