00:00Strangers, you know, is a true crime series about crimes that have happened to ordinary South Africans.
00:17Viewers will get what they expect from this kind of genre.
00:23But we try to approach it from a very gritty and grounded perspective.
00:31Because they're true stories, you kind of become these characters because they're real, they're not fiction.
00:37It's going to be a far more human component to it.
00:39We try to give them an insight into these stories from the perspective of investigating officers, family members, forensic pathologists, legal experts, so that they could see these stories from a new perspective.
00:54It's getting to know the people, both the families who were affected, but also the people who've worked really hard to make sure that justice is served.
01:05We are reminding you who each and every person was, that this person had dreams, had aspirations.
01:12But it's also so important to recognize that there's just a whole other network of victims that have to pick up the pieces.
01:20It required a lot of sensitivity, it required me to say to them, we want to create for you a space within which you can be vulnerable, because we're going to go through those emotions with you.
01:31And through the lens of our series is that these families can air what it really has felt like to go through this entire process, and still, that gap is never going to change.
01:44Uncover the hidden details of South Africa's most intriguing murder stories.
01:49Sundays, 8pm, only on MNET.
