Unseen reconstructs the investigation into Amie Harwick's murder through two kinds of evidence: cameras that recorded events around her home, and the warnings she had shared before her death.
The documentary, published in January, added about 32,000 views in a day, nearly eight times its usual daily pace. It follows the February 2020 killing of the Hollywood family therapist, beginning with the emergency response and continuing through the trial.
Early in the film, neighboring doorbell cameras corroborate a witness's frantic run for help. They also reveal an intruder outside the house hours earlier. Harwick's friend Robert Coshland then helps investigators understand the harassment she had experienced before the attack.
The account eventually reaches the courtroom, where prosecutors present DNA evidence and a January email in which Harwick documented stalking and threats. The film reports that Gareth Pursehouse was convicted of her murder in 2023 and sentenced to life without parole.
Viewers are discussing how police interpret someone's distress after a traumatic event, as well as the protection offered by restraining orders. Some also challenge whether the video's title accurately describes the officers' behavior.
Directed, written and edited by Matthew Rice, the documentary combines body-camera footage, interviews and archival reporting. It includes a paid supplement promotion. Its closing section returns to Harwick's friends, who remember her commitment to helping people and describe their advocacy for changes to domestic violence laws.
