This two-part documentary explores the story of female journalist Kim Wall, who was murdered while reporting. Director Erin Lee Carr answers the deeper questions: What did it mean, that even in the safest country on earth, Kim was killed while working? How was it possible that, as recently as 2017, the media questioned the length of her skirt when it happened? And how many young reporters hear a story like Kim’s, accept that there are some ventures that are just too dangerous as a woman, and choose a different, safer path? We need female storytellers in every space, and Kim was a great one. Undercurrent premiered on HBO in March 2021.
