Long Shot

On the front of the law library building near to where I live there is the famous quote, written in both French and English - It says "Leave no stone unturned". The French is "Remuer ciel et terre", literally, "shake up the sky and the earth". What happens in this documentary is closer to the sky than the earth. It is perhaps the alignment of stars, something inexplicable intertwined with something very human. If you're reading this you probably already know it's a documentary about a man who was accused of a murder. I won't say anything further because it really is quite the story, of people and actions that came together, intentionally and unintentionally.

This is a really great short documentary. The story unfolds as Juan and his lawyer try desperately to prove that he was at a dodgers game with his daughter and not off murdering a man. The show is well made and unfolds unexpectedly. A great watch and an amazing story.

All ya'll haters out there.. this is a good movie. My 8 year old dog died today.. heart disease... a horrible 5 days leading up to a disastrous day of vet ER and ultimately death of my beloved friend Milla. She was the most amazing dog ever... regardless.. this movie has been able to tickle a smile and laugh out of me today. So.. yeah.. watch it. Cheers

See, this is how true crime documentaries are made, Netflix. I knew you had it in you to get one right eventually. Just the right length, the story told via original footage, using text exposition where necessary to move the story along, interviews to the point, and none of the rambling on or long drawn out pauses for dramatic effect. 8/10

This is definitely an interesting story, I think it could the storytelling could have been a bit better. I didn't feel as engaged in the story as I hoped.
