One Way Mirror uses actual interrogation footage released by courts after a guilty verdict has been reached, as the backbone of telling each story. We will see the best, most telling parts of the investigation, including when the criminals begin to crack and when the investigators close in on their case. Our crime experts will screen and analyze the interrogation and help the audience understand these interrogation techniques. This analysis will take the audience into the killer's mindset in this high pressure situation. What will they say to get out of this situation? “The suspect’s story may change throughout the interrogation, but the facts never do.”
