    Has anybody seen this? Just watched it last night. A truly gripping film. Beautiful but god damn is it hard to watch.

    One of the best (if not, the best) documentary I have ever seen.

    I wish I had not read that story. How insanely horrible.

    I have this on my queue but haven't brought myself to watch it. I've heard it great but really hits most people pretty hard.

    I saw this and was glued to the TV. Just a horrible tragedy and the documentary doesnt hold anything back.

    Wow, that hit me like a punch in the stomach.


    Was not expecting something like this just randomly from a Hangout thread.

    I've never experienced such a range of emotions watching a movie as I did watching this one.

    Highly recommended.

    It was very difficult to watch. Not afraid to admit that I was in tears for a good portion of this film. If you're up for it, it's streaming on Netflix right now. Definitely not for the faint of heart.

    This is one of the best documentaries you will ever see, it's incredibly well made and edited. But it's very difficult to watch.

    Having read the story on Wiki, I don't know if I could ever bring myself to watch this movie. Maybe before I had my son I might could have, but now being a father, this sort of thing plays into your worst fears as a parent.

    this movie is distributed by Adam Yauch's Oscilloscope Laboratories, hence the reason for its awesomeness. Yauch (MCA of the Beastie Boys) personally attends the Film Festivals with his staff and chooses which docs they want to scoop up and distribute to theaters and dvd (which all have an eco friendly packaging concept behind them).

    their slate of films in the last two or three years is pretty remarkable if you are into documentaries.

    Just got done watching it.. It was hard to watch... I don't know what to say about it really other than that Kate and David are some of the strongest people I have ever seen.

    Probably not gonna watch this. I read it on wiki like Raven did and think this is too sad for me. I'm baffled how the woman is free though.

    I watched this last week, and it's incredibly well done, but it's not a movie I'd recommend to anyone without warning how emotionally intense it is.

    I really want to watch this now. Anywhere I can find it without having to stream it off Netflix? Blockbuster or Redbox perhaps?

    That's just a horrible story...
    Unimaginable how that woman was set free...

    Just finished it. Such a well made documentary and like everyone else has said, extremely sad. The water works were in full effect during it.
