A gripping feature-length true-crime story centring around the daughter of an Iranian family, who has spent over thirty years and millions of her fortune to try and find her mother’s killer.
3 x 60'
In 1989, 21-year-old college student Pooneh Entezari’s life was shattered when her mother, Effie, was gunned down outside her Washington apartment. Within days, police charged one suspect, Pooneh’s father, Mike. With no evidence or witnesses, just the narrative of a jealous ex-husband, Mike was convicted and sentenced to 25 years.
For everyone but Pooneh, the case was closed. Beside her mother’s body, she vowed to find the real killer and clear her father’s name. Over 35 years, she built her own fortune and launched an investigation more advanced than the police’s. She hired private eyes, forensics experts, and top lawyers, piece by piece dismantling the case, exposing failings, and uncovering darker motives.
In 2024, a DNA breakthrough tied trained killer Viktor Pell to Effie’s murder. While Pooneh gets justice, her father died never knowing the truth. This is the story of a daughter’s promise and the true cost of justice.
