Where She Lies

I love documentaries, I watch them all! So when a friend told me about this I had to see! Such a great film, compelling story, and incredible Documentarian to handle the heart wrenching facts. It's unimaginable what this woman went through her whole life, and after years of looking for answers, Zach Marian finds them for her and gives her closure! An unexpected twist in the middle, and interesting characters draw you in and make it a must-see. Don't miss this one!

This documentary is well made and researched. It is presented in an interesting manner that does hold the viewer's attention. However, having a branch of family from nearby in Tennessee Appalachia, the story just embarrassed me. This woman doesn't appear to comprehend alot and seems to have been taken advantage of by all these people who led her to believe that her baby was a part of some huge conspiracy that encompassed hundreds of people, at least a dozen institutions, and several decades and generations. When you watch the doc you will understand. Good grief people!

I hope the doc team chooses to make another doc and solve a real mystery. This just isn't one.

An assaulted teen gives birth in the deep south and receives conflicting narratives about her infant's fate. 36 years later, her mother gives a deathbed confession that the baby never died.

A filmmaker helps her uncover the truth.

It takes more than 90 minutes to get to the point that could have been told in ten. This documentary is slower than molasses and comes up short in every way.

The characters all talk in slow motion the exposition is in slow motion and then there's no payoff. They interview the woman involved and her place is a mess. Bottles of alcohol all over and dirt on the floor. You couldn't cleanup for the cameras?

And the mother in this is a witch.

The filmmaker/narrator really needs to get a real job.

Very tastefully filmed doc. Answered all the questions and followed through giving the viewers closure as well. Still some questions remain, though it really makes you appreciate the story, and remember it. Great film. God Bless Peggy, Darlene & their family.

To see such absolute care given when investigating the story is inspiring. The temple of the film allows one to completely absorb and feel the situation. As a viewer, I felt the story in its entirety has been skillfully documented. It is a gift to be a director that is willing to slow down and earn the trust of a mother that has not had a reason to trust in life. My take away was never give up hope and to except asking questions will lead to a truth. I wasn't able to stop watching till the end.

Part of me may still question how Susan could resemble Peggy so much. The film directed in such a way leaving viewer to still want to believe. Thank you for delivering excellence.
