“A story that, like so many others, I became fascinated with. My social media became a constant flood of information on this case, from only a few hours after the tragedy occurred”.
“What happened? And how did this horrific case become a viral sensation? I head to Moscow, Idaho, to discover the truth behind the viral rumours, and meet the true crime community who tried to solve this case”.
“What makes this documentary even more remarkable is the fact that this is my first ever creator credit on a project (!!!), and I know so many of you were (and still are) hooked on this case”.
She closed her caption by saying, “The documentary comes out very soon, this is a whole new world for me, and my first international project. I hope you all learn something new and interesting from this film, I learnt so much making it”.

Also releasing a statement to BBC about the 60-minute documentary film, Zara revealed, “I’ll be investigating the social media interest around the tragic murder case of the University of Idaho students which captured the minds of many around the world. I’m keen to find out why true crime is such a big topic online and the impact on those involved”.
