The day an icon was created. The day an icon died.  They say, “In a heartbeat... your life can flash in front of you."  James Dean did not believe that.  Until 5:44 p.m. 9-30-55.  A day. An hour. A minute. A second. James Dean’s life flashed in front of him in a heartbeat.  We all have a lot more to remember than we think.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
