Gosnell : The Trial Of Americas Biggest Serial Killer (DVD)

Based on the NY Times Bestseller – Gosnell: The Untold Story of America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer. The theatrical release for the film “Gosnell” is October 12, 2018.

Based on the true story of Dr. Kermit Gosnell the movie takes audiences behind the scenes of the investigation and trial of the man who has been dubbed the “Biggest Serial Killer in America.”

Detective James “Woody” Wood (Dean Cain) and his partner Det. Stark (Alfonzo Rachel) work an informant network to discover which doctor has been selling prescription drugs illegally.
