Sasquatch is an American true crime documentary television series that premiered on Hulu on April 20, 2021,[1] with a South by Southwest pre-release screen on March 16, 2021. The show begins with investigative journalist David Holthouse's recalling a story he heard in 1993 on a cannabis farm in Mendocino County, part of the Emerald Triangle in Northern California. Holthouse heard someone say that Bigfoot has killed three people on a nearby cannabis farm.[2] Throughout the show Holthouse talks with marijuana growers and law enforcement in Mendocino County, who tell him about possible connections to the Hells Angels biker gang and Spy Rock Road, a lawless marijuana growing area of Mendocino County near Laytonville. These interviews reveal the larger problem of missing persons in the Emerald Triangle.[3]

Reception

Sasquatch has received mostly positive reviews with critics praising the pacing, animated recreations, and true sense of danger.[4] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote, "director Joshua Rofe makes great use of sparse, graphic-novel type re-enactment animation to augment the usual assortment of interviews and archival footage."[5] One of the few negative reviews came from Eileen Jones of Jacobin, who wrote that it consisted of "entirely unserious, exploitative hijinks" which contrasted with the serious subject matter.[6]
