This is a film that is hard to come by in the United States legitimately,but it can be found on Youtube. This film was done in the Mondo style,which means that it shows a lot of shocking footage covers lurid topics and is marginally educational at best.
The premise of this film is that America has been in serious decline after the assassination of JFK. MLK was assassinated next sparking race riots in many US cities. "Killing" did not have much in the way of analysis. It did however show interviews from some of the Sirham Sirham, serial killers, and even a few teenage prostitutes (one male and one female) in LA.
This documentary was made to entertain not to educate, which is why so many topics are covered: street crime, assassinations, serial killers, spree killers (snipers), race riots, the Vietnam War, child prostitution.
"Killing" brings to light the mind boggling levels of violence that plagued America in from the early 1960s-1980s. This showed serial killers that faded into obscurity throughout the years.
This film has some great stock footage and no real political leaning (aside the assertion that taking guns off the street might be a good idea). I would recommend this to any true crime junkie or anyone who wants to be reminded of what a truly awful time the 1970s were.
