Candace Owens highlights key contrast between ‘Convicting A Murderer’ and ‘Making A Murderer’.
Candace Owens Discusses ”Convicting a Murderer” Documentary on Adam Carolla’s Podcast
Candace Owens recently appeared on Adam Carolla’s podcast to shed light on her documentary, “Convicting a Murderer.” Unlike the popular Netflix series “Making a Murderer,” Owens aimed to uncover the truth by presenting all the facts rather than pushing a single narrative.
Unveiling the Hidden Truths
The 2015 Netflix documentary, which gained immense popularity, convinced many viewers that Steven Avery had been wrongfully convicted for the murder of Teresa Halbach. Owens initially had doubts about Avery’s guilt until she delved deeper into the case, unearthing a plethora of information that filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos had omitted.
The Subversive Nature of Documentaries
Carolla pointed out that projects like these are often more subversive because they shape documentaries in a way that isn’t immediately apparent, unlike fictional movies. He emphasized that documentaries can be molded to fit any desired narrative. Owens agreed, highlighting the common perception that documentaries are inherently truthful and trustworthy.
The Power of Trust
Owens also discussed the inherent trust viewers place in documentary filmmakers. She noted that Steven Avery’s previous wrongful conviction for rape made him a sympathetic character, creating a perfect atmosphere to cast doubt on his guilty conviction.
Rationalizing the Irrational
Carolla and Owens acknowledged that average viewers struggle to comprehend how someone who had been wrongly imprisoned for 12 years could commit a crime shortly after release. However, they both agreed that attempting to rationalize the actions of criminals is futile, as their behavior often defies logic.
Uncovering the Dark History
Owens emphasized that her documentary, unlike “MAM,” reveals the dark history of Avery, including grotesque animal abuse and a pattern of escalating crimes leading up to Halbach’s murder. She argued that these inconvenient facts were deliberately omitted from the Netflix series to maintain a specific narrative.
The Influence of Emotion
During their conversation, Carolla and Owens discussed how the documentary was made by two women, suggesting that it may have been more susceptible to favoring emotion over facts. Owens provocatively claimed that society operates under a matriarchy, with feminists driving radical social movements.
