In the chilling documentary Tales of the Grim Sleeper, English filmmaker Nick Broomfield revisits the case of a notorious serial killer in Los Angeles -- a man believed to killed as many as 100 women over a 25 year period.
The Peabody award-winning director joins guest host Rachel Giese to discuss the factors that enabled the murderer -- including police indifference and racism -- and how audiences in St. Louis and Ferguson have reacted to the story.
The film recently made the long list for an Oscar in the Best Documentary category.
