Shadow of Truth is a true-crime Israeli documentary television series that was created by directors Yotam Guendelman and Ari Pines, and producer Mika Timor.
The fourth episode reveals a never-heard-before testimony of a man (referred to in the series as A.H.), who told the police in 2012 that his ex-girlfriend had confessed the murder to him on the very day it happened.
[8] The Israeli State Attorney, Supreme Court and Justice Ministry have all rejected A.H.'s claims and found his testimony to be unreliable and "an attempt to frame his former lover".
[9] Shadow of Truth caused a major media storm and was at the center of public debate for months after being aired, raising many doubts concerning Zadorov's conviction while also exposing flaws in the criminal justice system as a whole.
[10] Many critics hailed it as one of the most important shows in Israeli history, both for its in-depth investigative journalism and its high production value and strong artistic and cinematic qualities,[11][12][13] often comparing it to the American documentary series Making a Murderer which was released shortly before.
