BUNNY – Détails, épisodes et analyse

BUNNY is a film you can watch with your eyes closed.

Unsolved Crime Watch is an investigative true crime podcast in its seventh season, and its hosts, Paul Warren and Molly Daniels, have reached a crossroads. They have been coasting for years now on the success of their third season, which led to the release of a man wrongfully convicted of murder in a notorious case in Texas, and they are in need of another hit.

Fifteen years ago, in his senior year in high school in Montgomery, Alabama, one of Paul’s classmates, Bunny Loving, was murdered, left on the side of a road to bleed to death, her throat slit ear to ear. Johnny Vaughn, her boyfriend, was convicted of the murder. His conviction, though, rests on flimsy circumstantial evidence, and he has proclaimed his innocence from the day of his arrest. When Johnny, incarcerated in a penitentiary in Alabama, calls Paul out of the blue and asks him to take up his case as the next season of Unsolved Crime Watch, Paul, Molly, and producer, Stanley see an entree into an investigation they hope will bring them the success they need.

Comprised of 5 episodes, each about an hour and a half in length, BUNNY takes the listener back home to Alabama with Paul. To some extent, as Paul begins to uncover the tangled web of unanswered questions surrounding Bunny’s murder, the focus of the story is simply its mystery. Who killed Bunny Loving? As the story unfolds, however, it becomes a much more personal journey for Paul, back into the tumult of his childhood.
