I Am Elizabeth Smart

"I Am Elizabeth Smart" (2017) — an 87-minute TV drama you can watch online on iFILM, told from the survivor's point of view, with Elizabeth Smart appearing on screen as herself.

In June 2002, fourteen-year-old Elizabeth was taken from her Salt Lake City home in the middle of the night and held captive for nine months. Director Sarah Walker keeps the focus on the captive girl rather than on the search: Alana Boden plays Elizabeth, Skeet Ulrich and Deirdre Lovejoy play her parents. Smart's own on-camera presence lifts this above standard true-crime fare — she addresses details she has not spoken about elsewhere, and it shows. Watch "I Am Elizabeth Smart" (2017) online on iFILM.
