True Crime, History, and the Stories We Tell: Panel Discussion and Lost LA Screening

Join us for a special co-presentation with PBS SoCal for an advance screening of Lost LA episode “True Crime” at Doheny Memorial Library (DML), Friends of the USC Libraries Lecture Hall, DML 240 (3550 Trousdale Pkwy, Los Angeles, CA 90089) on Monday, September 15, 2025 from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. A post-episode panel will follow with author and Lost LA host Nathan Masters, author and former prosecutor Marcia Clark, author and New Yorker staff writer Susan Orlean, and author and podcast host Kate Winkler Dawson. The conversation will include a critical look at historical bias in crime narratives and consider how today’s true crime storytellers can reckon with the past while crafting more responsible, reflective narratives.
