NOVEMBER 17 – HBO Original WHEN A WITNESS RECANTS *Documentary Premiere* 
  • In 1983, a 14-year-old boy was murdered in the hallway of Harlem Park Junior High School in Baltimore, Maryland. Three local teenagers were swiftly arrested, convicted, and sentenced to life in maximum security prisons. The truth is that they were all innocent. WHEN A WITNESS RECANTS explores the collateral damage the handling of the case had on the close-knit community, the decades-long after effects on the wrongfully accused, and on the witnesses who decades later recanted their testimony and explained that they had been pressured as teenagers to give false testimony at trial, betraying the three accused. WHEN A WITNESS RECANTS makes it’s streaming debut Tuesday, November 17 at 9 p.m. ET. The film premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim. 
  NOVEMBER 18 – HBO Original THE HOTLINE *Documentary Premiere* 
  • The HBO Original documentary short THE HOTLINE, offers an unprecedented look inside an overdose prevention helpline Never Use Alone (NUA), which connects people using opioids with compassionate operators, acting as a fragile tether between life and death. Staffed by volunteers, sometimes people who have used opioids in the past, the hotline not only provides solace but is an essential lifeline for many, as operators stand by, ready to contact EMS if the caller becomes unresponsive. Written and directed by Ricki Stern and Jesse Sweet (HBO’s Nature of the Crime), the series debuts Wednesday, November 18 at 9p.m. ET/PT on Crave.
