Angela S. Book

A 2007 documentary short film investigating the psychological, genetic, and environmental factors behind psychopathy. The film focuses on the case of Johnathan, a 14-year-old Canadian teenager convicted of first-degree murder for killing a classmate at recess.

Sam identifies himself as a psychopath. Filmmaker Ian Walker takes him on a diagnostic journey to be analysed by psychologists and neurologists. But Ian hasn’t considered the reality of spending time with someone with a serious personality disorder, or the effect that the diagnosis will have on Sam himself – or his wife.
