Shamed: The Vigilante Suicides

Through its five-year reign, Creeper Hunter TV exposed online over 100 men identifying them as child predators and tossing the suspect’s name and image into a court of public opinion regardless of the evidence. It made for dramatic videos but was ultimately proven ineffective, for only a small percentage of the men accused will see the inside of a courtroom.

At the centre is Jason Nassr, the self-described “Creeper Hunter” from Windsor, Ontario. Nassr maintains he is a journalist and an educator who is motivated by his desire to protect children.

But after the death by suicide of one of Creep Hunter TV ‘catches’, it is Nassr himself who ends up in court where he is tried and convicted of extortion, harassing communications based on his exchange with the deceased man, and making and distributing written child pornography. In Shamed: The Vigilante Suicides, we learn of more untimely deaths and begin to understand the collateral damage caused by Nassr’s extreme form of vigilantism.

Blurring the line between justice and entertainment, Nassr and other vigilantes like him have increasingly become a serious cause for concern for law enforcement and have spawned a dark and committed online fanbase who seem to relish in the shaming and destruction of people.  Encouraged by clicks and likes, the original purpose of protecting children from predators is seemingly lost in the pursuit of increasing the shock value and satisfying the audience.

Since Nassr’s conviction, the Creeper Hunter TV website has been taken down. However, videos can still be found in some dark corners of the net, and many other online vigilantes remain active globally.

Dangerous Games: Roblox and the Metaverse Exposed

Dangerous Games: Roblox and the Metaverse Exposed is a character-driven documentary following Alex, Janae, and Katie as they embark on a mission to expose the dark underworld of the metaverse. After Katie is harassed by a sexual predator within the virtual world of Roblox, a platform designed for kids with 78 million daily users, the trio of amateur investigators uncover far more sinister activities, including explicit games and extremist groups operating unchecked in these digital spaces.

As they insist that threats in the metaverse are real, the urgency of their investigation becomes painfully clear when a young gamer is kidnapped and a mass shooting takes place, proving that the dangers they face online can have devastating real-world consequences.

Through their journey and interviews with experts and lawmakers, the film exposes the vulnerabilities of platforms like Roblox, where more than 40% of users are preteens, yet safety measures fall short. Their investigation ignites a global conversation about the responsibility of tech companies and the urgent need for stronger regulations to protect young users.

With the investigative energy of Catfish with the impactful storytelling of The Social Dilemma, this film uses gripping verité, expert interviews, and revealing graphics and gameplay to shed light on the evolving metaverse and the urgent need to protect its users. Ideal for teens, parents, and gamers, it offers a thought-provoking look at the future of online spaces and our collective responsibility to shape them.

The Dark Web (series)

There’s a dark side to the internet, and you probably don’t even know it exists. Look behind the positive veneer of social media, communication apps and platforms that have made our lives easier and more connected, and you’ll find criminals using the same apps and platforms to run illicit and dangerous activities.

Sextortion syndicates target victims globally through social media. Illegal wildlife trades thrive on social consumer marketplaces. Digital black markets operate anonymously using software designed for press privacy and freedom to sell drugs. Secret child pornography rings run rampant in secret, closed groups and private chats.

This explosive new series lifts the lid on how criminal organisations are thriving in this new digital frontier.


Episode One – The Queen of Sextortion

Sextortion was invented by one woman in the Philippines, Maria Caparas. She turned the idea of making friends online and recording explicit video chats into a profitable blackmail and extortion scam that could not exist without social media. She now runs a mini empire seemingly beyond the reach of authorities, that has led to many suicides.

Episode Two – Wildlife Clickbait

They may look like ordinary posts of exotic pets for sale on social media. But they are feeding a growing trade in illegal and endangered animals in Malaysia and beyond. This criminal industry is worth billions and is jeopardising attempts to protect endangered species.

Episode Three – Black Market Boom

Drugs, guns, counterfeit documents and much more are sold on dark web marketplaces that run on anonymous browsers and using cryptocurrency. AlphaBay was the biggest marketplace, transacting over US$800,000 in a day enabling its founder to live a luxury lifestyle in anonymity, until international law enforcement caught up with him.

Episode Four – The Candyman

It was one of 640 million closed groups on Facebook. Hiding behind the anonymity, the creator of child pornography group Loli Candy and its 7,000 members hid their activities on Facebook and Whatsapp – the dissemination of horrifying images of abuse. While they were eventually bought to justice many more thrive.
