About

Synopsis

Cleveland Abduction (2015) is an American TV drama you can watch online on iFILM. It reconstructs what happened to Michelle Knight, a young single mother who vanished from a Cleveland street in 2002 and spent eleven years locked inside Ariel Castro's house alongside two other women he had taken off the street.

Director Alex Kalymnios keeps the camera close to the victims, not the courtroom. Taryn Manning plays Knight with quiet, grinding endurance, while Raymond Cruz's Castro is chilling precisely because he sounds so ordinary. Pam Grier appears as the detective who won't let the case go cold. The film aired on Lifetime months after the women walked free in May 2013, and it puts human faces on a case that shocked the country. Stream Cleveland Abduction (2015) online on iFILM.
