The True Story of Bonnie and Clyde | Full Documentary | American Experience | PBS
The true story of the most famous outlaw couple in U.S. history
Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow had been on a year-long crime spree, leaving a trail of dead bodies in their wake, yet were little more than a local curiosity until photos of the couple were discovered at a hastily abandoned hideout in 1933. The image of a beret-clad Bonnie, cigar in mouth, pistol in hand, striking a defiantly provocative pose, would soon achieve near mythic status.
Overnight, the country became transfixed by the scandalous images and press accounts of their improbable escapes and illicit romance. Bonnie and Clyde would join the ranks of celebrity gangsters like John Dillinger, “Pretty Boy” Floyd and “Baby Face” Nelson, “public enemies” who emerged during the Great Depression to capture the country’s imagination. However, their newfound notoriety would force the outlaw lovers to take even greater risks as the hunt to capture them kicked into overdrive.
Told through interviews with cultural historians, the couple’s descendants and those of the officers who captured them, BONNIE & CLYDE tells the story of the infamous duo’s life and death.
