Population Zero (2016)

In the secluded depths of Yellowstone National Park, April 2009 bore witness to a chilling crime that would shake the nation. Three young men, full of life and promise, were ruthlessly gunned down, their lives snuffed out amidst nature's grandeur. Shortly after the macabre event, Dwayne Nelson, a man seemingly haunted by his deeds, walked into a ranger station miles away and confessed to the crime, detailing the gruesome act with chilling precision. Yet, despite his confession, a loophole in the American Constitution set him free, creating a perplexing paradox - a confessed murderer walking free. In "Population Zero", award-winning Canadian documentarian Julian T. Pinder embarks on a perilous journey to unearth the truth in the heart of Yellowstone. His vivid exploration transcends the boundaries of traditional filmmaking as he becomes an active participant in the story, not just an observer. Pinder, known for his works such as "Trouble in the Peace," "Land," and "Jesus Town," plunges into the labyrinth of constitutional law, seeking to understand how the supreme law of the land allowed justice to slip through its fingers. As he delves deeper into the mystery, he stumbles upon evidence that could re-open the Yellowstone Murders case, risking not only his life but also the lives of those around him. In this gripping narrative, the shocking crime serves as a sinister backdrop to the even more bizarre events that follow. "Population Zero" is not just a tale of a heinous crime, but a haunting exploration of a legal paradox and the relentless pursuit of justice. This cinematic journey compels viewers to question not only the case but also the intricacies of the law that allowed a murderer to roam free.
