We’re always very hands-on with our research, as we are with every other aspect of our work. Making documentaries allows you to focus on one story and study it thoroughly through the course of years, and when you do that with murder cases, for example, you can find out a lot of stuff that people overlooked because no one ever dug that deep.

NETFLIX MEMORIES OF MURDERS TRIAL
Shadow of Truth raised doubts about the murder conviction of a Ukrainian immigrant called Roman Zdorov, and this year, five years after the series came out, he was finally granted a retrial by the Supreme Court of Israel and released to house arrest until his new trial is concluded, so I think our biggest lesson was that while the justice system can work really slowly, documentaries do have the power to bring about change. Not just Yotam and I, but also our producer Mika Timor, our designer Tal Baltuch and our Musicians Tom Darom and Assa Raviv, all of whom worked on Buried as well. We also learned that we work pretty well together as a team. It was also our first series, so we learned most of what we know about making documentaries in the process of doing it. Pines: S hadow of Truth came out in 2016 and was the first Israeli true-crime series. What did you learn when working on that documentary? Sarachan: I know you’ve previously collaborated on Shadow of Truth. Memory Scientist, PhD Elizabeth Loftus in BURIED, "102”.
