In Her Defence: Breach of Trust

Jana G. Pruden

Booking Overview

This is a serialized investigative true-crime documentary focused on police misconduct, vulnerable women, and failures in law-enforcement accountability, using firsthand subjects alongside police, legal, and investigative perspectives rather than a recurring open-call interview format. Credible pitches would include criminal-justice lawyers, police-accountability and reform specialists, survivor-support advocates, and journalists with directly relevant expertise; booking is likely high difficulty because the series is tightly produced and editorially curated.
