Screening of 'Primetime', the crime thriller about Chris Hansen and the TV show To Catch a Predator, at The Dome Cinema.
The Dome Cinema is screening Primetime on Friday 6 November, a crime thriller that takes a look at Chris Hansen and To Catch a Predator. If you've spent any time on the internet, you'll know the name: Hansen was the face of the long-running US series that set traps for people trying to meet minors, and Primetime turns the camera back on him.
The film focuses on 2006, the year Hansen set out to make television history. That was when To Catch a Predator really hit its stride, and the series became a cultural phenomenon in its own right. The show's format—the hidden cameras, the confrontation in the house, and Hansen's calm, steady delivery—became instantly recognisable, and Primetime works its way through that era. It's a crime thriller that keeps the focus on the man behind the interviews and the show that made him a household name.

It's a bit of a specific subject, so it'll probably land best if you're already familiar with the original series, but it's a crime thriller at its heart, so it doesn't just rely on that. The screening runs for 109 minutes, and it starts at 16:15 on Friday afternoon, so it's an early one—you'll be out well before the evening really gets going. You can find tickets and more details on the Dome's website.
