"At the heart of the film is Rawson's memoir, A Serial Killer's Daughter: My Story of Faith, Love and Overcoming, which serves as both a narrative backbone and emotional compass for the documentary. Through Rawson's voice, viewers are invited to grapple with the unthinkable: discovering that a father, remembered for his ordinary presence and paternal love, led a secret life as a calculating murderer."
"Rawson's reflections add a rare layer of intimacy to a case that has been covered extensively by the media. The documentary does not shy away from the difficulty of reconciling childhood memories with the monstrous reality of Rader's actions. For Rawson, revisiting her past also meant confronting the possibility that there were more victims than the ten officially attributed to BTK, and questioning whether the life she lived was built on a fragile facade."
My Father The BTK Killer explores Dennis Rader's crimes through the firsthand perspective of his daughter, Kerri Rawson. Skye Borgman's documentary centers on Rawson's memoir, A Serial Killer's Daughter, using her voice to examine how a seemingly ordinary father led a secret life as a calculating murderer. The film emphasizes the enduring emotional impact on Rader's family, the Wichita community, and the investigators who pursued him. Rawson confronts the difficulty of reconciling childhood memories with horrific reality and raises questions about possible additional victims beyond the ten officially attributed to BTK. The film combines intimate reflection with investigative context.
