Media Circus

““Kim takes us to a place the camera rarely has an opportunity to go. An intimate look inside the lives of grieving survivors with a level of trust only a fellow survivor could earn. At times of tragedy, mass media tends to skim the surface.” —Kyra Phillips, CNN Anchor/Correspondent “Behind every headline lies a personal story that is often forgotten or never told. Kim Goldman’s Media Circus renders an eye-opening glance into the reality of high-profile victims’ personal loss and struggle for healing.” —Debra Tate, victim advocate and author of Sharon Tate: Recollection “Goldman makes very important comparisons of cases from the past 30 years and shows how social media and media in general has impacted the victims while living under the public microscope.” —Katie Beers, victims’ rights advocate and author of Buried Memories”
