Based on the infamous Boston Strangler murders, this is the true story of Loretta McLaughlin, the first reporter to connect the murders and break the story of the Strangler. She and fellow reporter Jean Cole challenge the sexism of the early 1960s to report on the city’s most notorious serial killer and work tirelessly to keep women informed. R | 112 mins
