PROBLEM STATEMENT Films inevitably affect its audience one way or another. What more when its content is disturbing and has happened in real life? We have found databased answers to that question, and it includes both positive and negative ones.

Our platform can be everyone’s friend — children, teenagers, or adults — that will always remind them about the risks of watching a true crime film.

Because of this, we have provided spaces in our platform where users can do the following: interact with co-users, join on-going seminars, read true-crime related articles, and learn more about the effects of true crime films on their emotional behavior from Truecrimepad's studies.
