“ Murder Games is a hard programme to watch, harrowing beyond belief, but probably essential viewing for all teenagers and teenage boys in particular ”
“ It’s a tragic story, brought to life by this heart-breaking mix of drama and testimony from Breck’s friends and family ”
Meeting Breck Bednar’s bereaved mother Lorin LaFave inspired Katharine to write and direct MURDER GAMES. Emotional testimony from Breck’s gaming friends became the basis of a factual drama starring Sam Clemmett and Laurie Kynaston exploring how a 14-year-old schoolboy was befriended by a stranger online and lured to his death.
MURDER GAMES is shown in British schools as part of the PSHE curriculum to raise awareness of online grooming.
