Netflix Releases First Clip from Casting JonBenet
Casting JonBenet is a sly and stylized exploration of the world's most sensational child-murder case, the still unsolved death of six-year-old American beauty queen, JonBenet Ramsey. After years of media speculation and public fascination, audiences are presented with a documentary hybrid examining the macabre legacy of this tiny starlet.
Over 15 months, the filmmakers traveled to the Ramseys' Colorado hometown to elicit responses, reflections and even performances from the local community. In doing so, Casting JonBenet examines how this crime and its resulting mythologies have shaped the attitudes and behavior of successive generations of parents and children.

Directed by Kitty Green, Casting JonBenet will have its world premiere on Sunday, January 22 2017 at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, in the US Documentary Competition (the first time a nonfiction work from Netflix will compete there). The film will launch globally on Netflix and in limited theatrical release in April 2017.
Casting JonBenet was produced by Green (Ukraine is Not a Brothel; and The Face of Ukraine: Casting Oksana Baiul, which premiered at Sundance in 2015 where it was awarded the short film non-fiction jury prize), Scott Macaulay (Raising Victor Vargas; Gummo) and James Schamus (Brokeback Mountain; The Ice Storm).
