I don't generally see documentaries unless they are put in front of me. This one was. It's a compelling story, one I had read about a bit beforehand, due in no small part to Peter Jackson's involvement and reading about the Paradise Lost documentaries HBO made.

The recount of the crime is pretty horrific and surprisingly graphic. And much like in the read life case, the rap up takes a very long time. I really felt the running time towards the end. But the film presents a fascinating case of failed justice and the reasons surrounding.
