Netflix are dropping a new crime series which is based on a true story. It is an eight part series which is based on a winning article. Unbelievable tells the story of a young woman who claims to have been raped by an intruder in her home but her family and detectives refuse to believe it, they are convinced she has made it up.
However, they then realise there are the same events of attacks happening all over the country and they believe one man is responsible.
This is based on a true story from 2009, a young women was charged with false reporting before two detectives based in Colorado caught her rapist.
Susannah Grant, co-writer of the show, said in an interview: “There a couple of things you hear said about the process of reporting a rape. One is that the investigation feels like a second assault. And you also hear that the process of going through the kit also feels like an assault. So, rather than just accept that, we really wanted to break that down and communicate that on a more visceral level, so you can experience why that’s true in an emotional way,”
