Peacock has acquired U.S. rights to Waad Al-Kateab’s second feature-length documentary “We Dare to Dream.”
The pact comes after the 93-minute film made its world premiere in June at the Tribeca Film Festival and had a Oscar qualifying theatrical run at New York City’s IFC Center in October. The docu, about the refugee Olympic team at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, will begin streaming on Peacock on Dec. 1.
“The fact that Peacock has now acquired our film gives me hope that millions of people will be able to understand our story, and that we, the world’s refugees, are not the crisis,” says Al-Kateab. “We are a consequence of multiple crises in the world from climate instability to political conflict that are causing millions, like me and my children, to lose their homes and their way of life. With new crises at a breaking point today, I think...

For more than five decades, true crime theorists have clung to the notion that the grisly San Francisco Bay Area murders were diabolically executed by one man who became known as the Zodiac Killer.
The chilling, cryptic letters sent to area newspapers with the demand to be published to the string of five murders spanning from 1968 through 1969; the cold case of a serial killer who preyed on young people became an obsession for some theorists, even to this day.
But what if everyone was wrong about the Zodiac Killer? And the string of murders wasn’t random causation but was individually motivated by different killers.
What if the Zodiac, ghoulishly depicted behind the coded letters was actually not the killer at all? But a troll who latched onto news of the murders and strung them together to appear as though they were the work of a single madman?
Why did...

The mysterious case of the Zodiac Killer has baffled experts and investigators for over five decades, remaining unsolved to this day. Despite numerous efforts to crack the case, no significant clues have emerged that could lead to the identification of the killer. One of the key challenges in unraveling the mystery lies in the contradicting descriptions provided by witnesses, which greatly vary when it comes to the physical attributes of the murderer. Additionally, the ballistic evidence and fingerprints collected from the crime scenes do not definitively point to a single individual committing the crimes. While the globally accepted theory pointed to a single killer, the inconsistencies in witness testimonies and forensic evidence cast doubt on this hypothesis.
The story of the Zodiac Killer gained widespread attention, particularly due to his chilling portrayal in David Fincher’s film Zodiac, which depicted the horrifying murders associated with the killer. There are also...

For the thousands of online sleuths devoted to cracking the Zodiac Killer case, Peacock's latest true-crime series is downright blasphemous. Based on a theory put forth by academic Thomas Henry Horan, Myth of the Zodiac Killer views the infamous unsolved murders and the corresponding cyphers and letters with a heavy dose of skepticism. Unlike the legions of detectives (of both the legitimate and armchair variety) who believe a single man murdered five people in the San Francisco Bay Area between December 1968 and October 1969, Horan posits that the crimes were unrelated, and, as such, "the Zodiac Killer is a fictional character."...
