Sex Crimes Unit
A Documentary by Jackson Films

For pure drama and narrative arc, it might be hard to find something more compelling than the case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who has been charged by the Manhattan district attorney’s office with attempting to rape a housekeeper in a hotel room.

The film, titled “Sex Crimes Unit,” is the director Lisa F. Jackson’s take on the historic investigative body that was established in 1974, by Robert M. Morgenthau, the Manhattan district attorney at the time.
