‘Unabomber’ True Story: Netflix’s ‘Unabomber’ Movie Downplays Brother David Kaczynki’s Role In Ted Kaczynski’s Arrest
Ted Kaczynski, an infamous murderer known as the Unabomber, attended Harvard as a student, where formative experiences shaped his early life. Netflix has released a movie about Kaczynski directed by Janus Metz and starring Jacob Tremblay, which explores his Harvard years. The film has received criticism for appearing to underplay the role that Kaczynski's brother David played in his arrest. The movie is now available for viewing, though some observers question how fully it represents the historical events involved.
