No Place to Hide: The Rehtaeh Parsons Story

Canada, and virtually the entire EU now have laws prohibiting the type of internet victim blaming that drove this young woman to suicide. In the US, the ACLU which gets support for social media companies that do not want to take any responsibility has systematical worked to block such laws in the US.

Pretty well done short documentary of a very heartbreaking story. I will say that I did not like the journalist lady who they interviewed for most of the documentary. She speaks in vocal fry and it's very annoying and distracting. Also I found it odd how much she was smiling during her interview.

A true documentary covering a gang rape an inept police response and the tragic loss of an innocent life so young.

.... until it's our nightmare? Is a sense of decency in 96-98% ? Of us able to sleep through the explosion of unimaginable suffering and sorrow at the hands of a fraction of humanity whose behavior we all agree is abhorrent unthinkable cruel - all that stuff too vulgar for words to contain- yet until it detonates in our lives, we fail to notice the avoidable needless tragedy our collective decency could end. Or at least begin to. This story demands we notice because there are more atrocities inside it than any one life should be forced to bear alone. And this story deserves better than a cowardly dance around its edges in scattered fingers of blame that by dividing in direction only weakens the impact on ALL (= any) who take part in what our united rage at the indecency fights fiercely together- and not only when it detonates in our backyard but before it happens to anyone again. Yes I'm American and this is a Canadian atrocity and laws differ. But decency doesn't. Whatever happens to you happens to me. That's my American idealism but I swear to God... technology advancements that bring unaddressed misery on its back are failures.

This is the first review I've ever posted on here and I've been on this site for years... Very moving documentary about a young girl who was totally failed by the police and just about everyone...Moved me to tears...RIP Rehtaeh...
