Predator Catchers is a gripping true-crime documentary that follows ordinary citizens as they lure online child predators into meetups while livestreaming every moment. Witness the high-profile stings that made national news — a Facebook executive, a school board president, a school teacher, and even an off-duty police officer. 

The film goes inside the operation with exclusive interviews featuring founder Eric Schmutte and members of Predator Catchers Inc., along with child decoys who bravely step into harm’s way. You’ll see live decoy phone calls, tense confrontations, and even live arrests by law enforcement. 

What began as grassroots vigilance has grown into a powerful movement targeting offenders who believe they are untouchable. With shocking encounters, repeat offenders, and a relentless fight to expose predators, Predator Catchers pulls you into an unforgettable battle for justice in the digital age.
