In Cold Blood

In Cold Blood is a docu-drama series on what drives people to extreme and shocking acts of behavior which not only break the law but end in hurt and tragedy. Through the use of high profile and intriguing real life cases, the series will highlight issues like family violence, abusive relationships, mental illness, drug addiction, alcoholism, plus other relevant issues that concern society. A lot of these problems only come to light when tragedy strikes. The stories will not only serve as cautionary tales to viewers but also encourage those mired in similar issues and problems to seek proper help. It is highly educational with relevant experts covering the issues in depth at the end of the episodes. Not all problems will have a solution and no one solution can solve all the problems but highlighting them will hopefully bring about more awareness and understanding to these issues.
