criticism, saying you didn't get enough information and time with the prosecutor. will we see more of that in part two. >> we gave him whatever air time was available to us. we looked for creative ways to include the point of view of the prosecutor who declined to sit down with us. i wrote to him in 2006, invited him to participate, never received a direct response to my letter. but you know we were fortunate in thae so mat so many events p out publicly and we could film them and make it clear what his perspective was on the story. >> when you think about it, do you think about it as a documentary where you try to put things before people with no fingerprints of your own on it or is it a story telling exercise in which you're advocating for an argument? >> i think the answer might be neither. you know documentary is not journalism. it subpoena an art form. this is a narrative. we chose steven avery as our

participate and in both instances they declined. we absolutely understand that. i would imagine that participating could create more pain for them. we understand they declined. we respect that, in light of that regardless of whether or not they participated or not, our job was to tell the story in the most responsible way we could. when the halbach declined to participate, we used archived materials. >> you had a lot of people talking about part one, and i'm sure lots of people will be watching and talking after part two. >> catch all ten episodes of "making a murder: part
