A Thread of Deceit: The Hart Family Tragedy

This movie is disgusting. Don't rent or buy this, this is just a movie about their friends defending the abusive parents, and trashing the people who stood up for the children. This movie is terrible, excuses were being made for the parents right and left and the children were forgotten. I can't believe they took the time to make this and thought this was a good idea.

There were way too many interviews with people who tried their best to turn these witches into humans, but why? Why weren't there more interviews with the children's biological family members? Why didn't this documentary expose more details regarding the abuse these children suffered? Why weren't there more interviews with members of the justice system who ripped these kids away from their biological family members? Why, why, why? I asked myself why throughout this documentary and to say I was frustrated and annoyed while watching this, is an understatement.

The show "Atlanta" did a better job at telling at least one of the Hart children's stories in under 30 minutes in Season 3 Episode 1. Film was misleading and almost erased the very thing that made this tragedy a tragedy: the adopted and murdered children. Friends of the Hart moms seemed to be trying too hard to take up for them... any valuable information that could give more details about the murder was considered private and never discussed. I do not think this should be called a documentary or movie, but I will recommend that it be made available on Youtube for students to study cognitive dissonance.

This film fails in how it allows friends of the Hart family to make excuses for the two Hart women without confronting this behaviour. Instead, many of the talking heads place the blame on social media, or suggest the two Hart women were simply desperate or "insane". There is no evidence to suggest either. There IS evidence to suggest that they were aware of what they planned to do, which was/is murder, and evidence to suggest a pattern of abuse behind closed doors in that family home.

That this film does not confront the making of excuses by the talking head friends of the family is truly infuriating, if not utterly disrespectful to the memory of the six(!) children whose lives were taken from them.

So much information missing and too much talking by people who really didn't even know them besides on social media. Needed to focus more on facts and filling in information. Waste of money and time! Does an injustice to the children by not telling their whole story.
