Directed by Matt Ruskin, the 2023 historical crime thriller Boston Strangler centers on the journalists, played by Keira Knightley and Carrie Coon, who investigated the 1960s "Silk Stocking Murders". The film explores themes of gender inequality in journalism and police incompetence, focusing on the pursuit of the story rather than graphic violence. More details can be found on Wikipedia .
