Netflix’s seven part docuseries The Keepers explores the unsolved murder of a 26-year-old nun in Baltimore, begging the question “who killed Sister Cathy?”
Along the same lines as the streaming service’s Making a Murderer and Amanda Knox, director Ryan White pieces together a story that goes beyond the death of a beloved Catholic schoolteacher to encompass clergy abuse, repressed memories and government and religious institutions that he says “at best, dropped the ball over the last 45 years – and, at worst, covered it up.”
The Keepers is told through interviews with dozens of friends, relatives, journalists, government officials and Baltimore citizens determined to uncover the truth.
