I won't spoil the details here if you haven't heard about this story before, just a couple of benign broad strokes.

Selfish and grandiose man justifies smuggling drugs, names players in government scandal, shows again how dirty our government is all the way to the top regardless of party affiliation by being involved in organized crime for money and self advancement...shocker. Oh and did I mention he abandoned his family in many nefarious ways? Ha. So, unless you're really young or had lived under a rock...we've seen it and heard this story for a lifetime, those before me, mine and yours.

To the pilot, wherever you are, you broke the law. You deserved jail time and to have to look at how your poor children suffered because of your abrupt and total abandonment. The mother of two is not innocent and no one in this was remorseful. I think they were confused about the MeToo movement...I'll clear it up...it doesn't mean, they got off scot free, so pardon me too.

For those who don't know a lot about the drug trades or the Iran-Contra political and humanitarian crimes, it helps fill in some interesting gaps which are referenced in many movies, documentaries, books, magazines and news reels.

Terrible editing, adds a lot of footage no one ever needed to view and was touted up as respectful to victims and survivors and their families while systematically building a theme of blaming police. I'm not a fan of the policing systems in our country or political overshadowing and systemic bias but I'm less a fan of this moronic and egotistical director getting his face in every half fiction documentary he puts out. Who is backing this idiot? This was a hatchet job that had less to do with the tragedy and any healing process than it did with one singular agenda. Gross manipulation of the town, its people and the victims. He should donate every penny he's spending on himself to the people who had to endure their pain for his gain.

Always good to see that our most tragic events are not forgotten and that victims names are uplifted and remembered without saying the criminals name and unfortunately that's where the accolades end. The director/producer who also acts as interviewer is always ridiculous with the questions and his personal bias in his "documentaries" without offering a panel of valid solutions for preventative measures or improvements. Although I tried to get through more history lessons on tragedy by trolling Minns collection, I can't stomach anymore of him being on camera or behind it. Asking victims or survivors what they would say to the deceased is a shameless effort to trigger tears and drama, when most of these are mass shootings, why do you need to add to that horror? Everyone replies with something like that is a good question, people say that because they are overwhelmed by such a big question and thought process while already grieving loved ones and doing the interview in the first place. Minn's motives are clear, to exploit tragedy for money while placing blame on government. How original and also tells the audience that he doesn't believe we are smart enough to find the errors made in each tragedy. While law enforcement and policies certainly have issues, if Minn want everyone else to be held to a gold standard, allow me to hold him to one very important one, because instead of pushing his own agenda he could actually provide all the details and forward thinking pathways, by experts, not by him.

The definition of documentary is as follows

broadly : FACTUAL, OBJECTIVE.

1 being or consisting of documents : contained or certified in writing documentary evidence 2 of, relating to, or employing documentation in.

Hollywood needs to push you out of this business. Reviewer out.
