About
You’ll likely be drawn in if you want a tense, emotionally heavy true-story documentary that spotlights survivor testimony and hard questions about responsibility, similar to Leaving Neverland; Not for you if graphic footage or panic-inducing crowd scenes are too much.
Pros: gripping firsthand interviews; intense real footage; raises accountability questions | Cons: graphic and distressing; can feel one-sided; some parts feel rushed
