Ep 301: Inside Murdaugh: Death in the Family with Erin Lee Carr, Part 22

Show Notes

Laura is joined by Erin Lee Carr, a two-time Emmy nominated American documentary film director and producer and co-creator and executive producer of Hulu’s Murdaugh: Death in the Family for a deep dive examination of Alex Murdaugh and the making of Murdaugh: Death in the Family.

Together, Laura and Erin analyze the choices Alex Murdaugh made and debate the role drugs played in his brutal crimes. Laura highlights intentionality in the pre planning stages of the murders, the murders themselves and post offence behaviour that point to clarity of mind whilst Erin shares candid insight of both her and her father, David Carr’s addiction journeys as well unique insight into the realities of documentary filmmaking and scripted shows: the critical differences between them -including the ethical responsibilities, limitations, and strengths inherent in each format.

This conversation examines how power, control, ego and entitlement operate both on screen and behind closed doors -and why understanding patterns of behaviour is essential to prevention.

Learn the patterns. Identify the risk. Save lives.
