The Jeffrey Dahmer Files plot
"He lived next door."
Jeffrey Dahmer was sentenced to 957 years in prison for murdering 17 people and dismembering the bodies. In some cases, he kept body parts in his refrigerator and occasionally fried a piece of them to eat. This is an experimental documentary that uses archival footage, interviews and fictional screenplays to tell the story of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer during the summer he was arrested in 1991. It also attempts to paint a picture of the city of Milwaukee and sought contact with people who had anything to do with him at the time and afterwards. For example, medical researcher Jeffrey Jentzen, Detective Patrick Kennedy and his neighbor Pamela Bass talk about his everyday facade that made him seem like an ordinary guy with an ordinary life.
