My Father, The BTK Killer

wp_production_admin — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 23:20:40 +0000

Imagine discovering your father is one of America’s most notorious serial killers. For Kerri Rawson, that unthinkable nightmare became a reality in 2005, when her dad, Dennis Rader, was arrested on his lunch break. An unassuming church congregation president and former Cub Scout leader, Rader had been unmasked by authorities as the notorious BTK Killer — who committed 10 gruesome murders between 1974 and 1991.

The documentary tells the true story of Dennis Rader, who adopted the moniker BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill), through the eyes of his daughter, Kerri Rawson. It explores the impact of Rader’s crimes on his family and community, following Kerri as she confronts the possibility of additional victims and reckons with childhood memories that may hold hidden traumas. The film weaves together interviews with the investigators who helped uncover BTK’s identity and features chilling archival photos and sketches, and interrogation footage of Rader himself. Throughout, Kerri’s personal reflections on her relationship with her father both before and since his arrest and conviction shed light on the enduring impact of his crimes and her own healing journey.

Shut Up and Dribble

Andrew Sachs — Sat, 03 Nov 2018 22:43:00 +0000

Nominated for a Sports EMMY for Outstanding Editing (Long Form)

Nominated for NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Documentary (Television)

Narrated by acclaimed sports journalist and commentator Jemele Hill, SHUT UP AND DRIBBLE is a powerful inside look at the changing role of NBA athletes through the lens of our shifting cultural and political environment. The series was directed by Gotham Chopra and executive produced by LeBron James, Maverick Carter and Chopra. The three-part documentary series is available now on SHOWTIME.

Episode 101

Prompted by Laura Ingraham’s public criticism of LeBron James and other NBA players' outspokenness on the current political climate, the first episode is an exploration of the league’s social and cultural influence across time. Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson risked their careers and paved the way for generations of future players. Julius “Dr. J” Erving’s style of play laid the groundwork for Larry Bird and Magic Johnson (and David Stern) to catapult the NBA into an era of higher visibility and prosperity.

Episode 102

1984 brought the arrival of the one and only Michael Jordan. MJ breaks barriers when his out-of-context quote, “Republicans buy sneakers too” becomes a signature declaration for a generation of players. In the wake of the Rodney King riots in L.A., two black players, Craig Hodges and Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, make their voices heard and pay the price. Allen Iverson rises and becomes a trendsetter unlike anyone before him, even though his defiant style on the court gets him only so far in the NBA.

Episode 103

The very public brawl known as “Malice in the Palace” is the catalyst for new NBA rules. But it is also an opportunity for players to own their brands and create both social and financial equity for themselves. The NBA begins its transition to a “players’ league,” with players reaching unprecedented levels of economic and cultural influence. The murders of Trayvon Martin and Erik Garner create a chance for NBA players to stand up and be heard. In the present turbulent political era, players are now unwilling to just “shut up and dribble."
