Now that Yaser Said, Islam Said and the girls' uncle have been convicted, I hope a more detailed documentary is produced. It should more explicitly cover how the girls' mom and the local authorities also failed them.
I agree with others who have stated that the storytelling is a bit all over the place. I think it's partly because the Irving Police Department and other local authorities were unwilling to talk. The documentary also primarily tells Amina's story and not Sarah's. However, I'm glad someone had the courage to take the time to tell the story of what happened. There's just so much more that needs to be examined and exposed.

I remember seeing this on the news and finding it so shocking. But then to watch this documentary shows truly how horrific and shocking it was. It feels made up because it's so hard to believe but unfortunately that's not the case. I also agree with other viewers that Sarah wasn't spoken about enough, but the documentary was short, gripping And informative.
It was hard for me to watch. There is one lone review which gave the doc 1 star. That's a bit harsh; however, everything that the reviewer stated was absolutely true. The film was done sloppily and more should have been said about Sara - the other sister - who was shot as well.
The 'mother' of these two young sisters is repulsive. A low life who does not deserve to draw breath on this planet. Despicable.

Brace yourself, this is a tough and incredibly difficult film to view.
You'll find yourself enraged, engulfed in absolute terror, and feelings of absolute chaos at the hands of an irredeemable murderer of a father and what can only be described as an ignorant, stupid and completely narcissistic mother.
If not for the complete and utter betrayal of a mother who could only see her own wants and supposed needs, her daughters are still here- I cannot express enough how much seething anger I feel for this complete waste of a human being.
Within ten minutes you will know the final outcome and it feels as if you're watching a D-level made for TV movie, instead of a true story that has us still looking for this monster of a man and for some ungodly reason, the facilitator in their mother who is not being held accountable for her part in their deaths and is residing with the family of the murderer who has still avoided capture.
It was tough to watch this film but it is a story still happening around the globe, and within the US with shocking regularity. A bit more into the sister would have been good as well as the psychotic mother and incredible denial.

If you watch this please be aware of this one heart wrenching horrific factor: the mother. Powerful documentary. Extremely informative. Heartbreaking.
