The incredible transformation of Katherine

It's strong, and I feel most sorry for daughter. A massacre documentary that definitely got my attention. Strong subject matter and crazy transformation. It's really powerful how those drugs destroy a person. I think it's a powerful and great documentary. It went by fast. I couldn't stop wondering how Katherine was changing all the time. She was a looker at the beginning and then the drugs started to take a bigger and bigger toll. I thought that was the end of it, but it just kept going and getting worse and worse until I was at the end and I kept thinking, this is disgusting. This is a massacre. This is a disaster. It's a freak show.

Very strong story

A very powerful story about a girl who falls into heroin addiction. A very well-made documentary that charts her life on drugs to her difficult trials of sobriety. What finally gives her the impetus to leave her drug addiction behind is that she becomes pregnant. The story shows how powerful the birth of one's offspring can be and what a person can do because of it. A story that shows that everything is possible. A story that shows love for your child can be stronger than anything. A story that will leave strong emotions on everyone. This is a superbly made documentary and I highly recommend it to everyone. Especially if they are in similar problems, here they can find inspiration or strength to do something with their lives.

Compassion

The ability to feel compassion is the greatest human nature. This movie teaches how to feel sorry and empathise even with the lowest part of the society
