Crush

Paramount+ today announced that its two-part docuseries CRUSH will premiere exclusively on the service, beginning Tuesday, October 17, ahead of the first anniversary of the devastating crowd catastrophe in Seoul, South Korea, on October 29th, 2022. CRUSH is a spine-tingling account of what happened when a Halloween night of celebration turned into a nightmare. More than 100,000 young revelers, who were packed into the narrow bar-lined alleyways of Seoul's trendy Itaewon neighborhood, became trapped in a mass panic. The toll was astonishing: 159 people, including two American students studying abroad, had suffocated and died that night. Nearly all those who perished were in their twenties.

From the co-producers of the award-winning docuseries 11 MINUTES, CRUSH tells this hard-to-fathom story in a breath-catching immersive style, relying only on the voices of those who were either caught up in the crowd, themselves, or trying to respond and render help as the scale of the unfolding tragedy became apparent. Using raw footage, first-person accounts, real-time body camera video, surveillance video, and cell phone footage, CRUSH brings viewers into the crowd to experience the panic as chaos takes hold.
