Crime crossing the line
Today, everyone travels. People move freely all over Europe and the rest of the world for fun, for work, for love – and for crime. Crossing the Line tells nine stories where violence, intrigue, death and sorrow respect no boundaries of geography or human suffering.

International crime reporter Andrea Vogt examines nine spine-chilling crimes in which borders, real and moral, are crossed. Vogt digs into the story behind the story, attends court hearings and sits down face to face with families of the victims and convicted criminals to deliver a fascinating in-depth series of true crime stories. Did American student Amanda Knox kill British fellow student and housemate Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy? What drove German trucker Volker Eckert to extremes of random violence as he roamed Europe’s autoroutes? Why did British computer engineer Neil Entwhistle shoot his wife and baby daughter in their perfect home in Massachussetts? What was in Jessica Davies’ mind one night in Paris when she stabbed to death her one-night stand, Frenchman Olivier Mugnier? In these and other films Andrea Vogt goes behind the headlines and explores the background to some of the world’s highest-profile and most shocking crimes.
