Jean-Xavier de Lestrade, Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker, presents a gripping courtroom thriller. In 2001, author Michael Peterson was arraigned for the murder of his wife Kathleen, whose body was found in a pool of blood on their stairway. De Lestrade's cameras offer rare and revealing insights into Peterson's defense team and home life as they strategize against charges that could send him to jail. "The Staircase" is an engrossing look at contemporary American justice with more twists than a legal bestseller.
