Amber: The Girl Behind the Alert

This documentary, which goes into the full details of an event that is responsible for our Amber Alerts, was not only very informative, but also extremely well done. Today, we take the Amber Alert as a given whenever the tragedy of a missing child happens. Almost thirty years ago such a thing was unheard of. As a resident of Dallas, Texas at the time of Amber's abduction, I clearly remember the news coverage, but had no idea of the background story of the family. This doc fills out the picture fully, and is a fitting tribute to all those touched most deeply by Amber's life and passing. The death of any child is heart-wrenching, but at least one child has left behind a legacy that will live on and has already proven to be the savior of so many other children.
