S1E2 A Shot in a Starry Night - The Case of Vincent van Gogh

Title: A Shot in a Starry Night - The Case of Vincent van Gogh Plot: For over a century, it has been widely accepted that Vincent van Gogh's descent into madness led him to take his own life. However, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Steven Naifeh, known for his biography of the artist, aims to uncover a different truth: that van Gogh was unintentionally shot by a young local, 16-year-old René Secrétan. Naifeh's investigation seeks to challenge the long-held belief surrounding van Gogh's tragic end, suggesting a new narrative about the circumstances that led to the iconic painter's demise.
