Captive Audience – Season 1
The series tells the story of Steven Stayner, who mysteriously vanished on his way home from school. Nearly a decade later, his dramatic return to his family sparked ‘80s-era “stranger danger” warnings, legal reforms and one iconic Made-For-TV-Movie2, in which the family’s ordeal was transformed into a prime-time miniseries watched by 70 million Americans. When the credits rolled and the movie ended, it closed one tragic chapter of the family’s life but opened another.” What makes this series unique is that it spans a family’s 50-year journey to discovering the truth and the story of two brothers, “one deemed a villain and the other a hero,” and what is a story versus the truth.
