Broadcast on Discovery Canada, CTV, Canal D, APTN and in the United States on TLC as Secrets of Forensic Science.  This pioneering series still enjoys excellent ratings in reruns on HistoryTV and National Geographic Canada.

Exhibit A was the very first science of crime docudrama series.

“Enter the world of forensic science, the science of crime, where a suspect’s guilt or innocence can hang on a single piece of evidence …”  So begins every episode, hosted by Academy Award nominee Graham Greene (Dances With Wolves).  Combining documentary truth with the emotional power of dramatic recreation, the series brings to life recent history's most publicized and virtually unsolvable cases – unsolvable that is until police investigators join forces with forensic scientists.

Exhibit A received eight Gemini nominations and two Gemini awards.

This is a must watch series of true crime mysteries.  Every detective knows that the first 72 Hours after a crime are crucial to solving it. After that clues disappear and the trail goes cold. Each half hour episode tells the true story of one unforgettable case by combining explosive dramatic recreations, vivid forensic science, captivating interviews, and documentary footage from the actual scientists and detectives who worked on the case. The result is a riveting series about the amazing technologies and clever techniques that detectives and forensic heroes use to solve true crime thrillers: DNA, ballistics and firearms, forgeries, geographical and behavioral profiling, chemical analysis, and the toxicology of drugs.
