MY FRIEND DAHMER SC NEW PTG

Soon to be a motion picture from director Marc Meyers. In 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer, the most notorious serial killer since Jack the Ripper, seared himself into the American consciousness.

To Derf Backderf, "Jeff" was a much more complex figure: a high school friend with whom he had shared classrooms, hallways, and car rides.
