In the mid-aughts, Dateline NBC’s To Catch a Predator drew millions of weekly viewers to watch sting operations: men planning to meet minors for sex would instead be confronted by polished host Chris Hansen, then by the police — all on hidden camera.

"To Catch a Predator" is the focus of the feature-length documentary "Predators," by David Osit, who is himself a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. It’s an honorable attempt to grapple with all the different aspects of the NBC show. It is built around uncertainty, which in retrospect what defined every aspect of the series, even though the creators never foregrounded it in a way that would’ve done it justice.
