L'assassin de ma fille

I love watching true crime stories and this one is quite excellent. It's in a couple other languages but I just read the English captions. The story is about a fathers love and dogged determination to get Justice for his daughter. He went to extreme lengths even when everyone thought he was crazy. I highly recommend this one to anyone that loves true crime documentaries.

Great documentary about a father's 30 year quest for justice for his daughter; murdered by her stepfather; a con artist, rapist, and pedophile. The film is well done; it's nicely edited, so therefore not overly long or hard to follow; however, the real reason to watch is the story. Coming from a father, Bamberski is a legend and a hero!

(consider watching with subtitles ON and English audio/dub OFF. At this time, the English voice overlay isn't synched very well)

First, let's address the elephant in the room that several reviewers called attention to: Voice-overs. They found them difficult to understand. I did not. Maybe it's because I watch so many programs that are subtitled and some dubbed, so I am used to it.

This documentary was not the smoothest, but it was heart wrenching. A great "who done it" in that everyone denied involvement and yet a child was dead - and in a physician's home, no less.

And we've all been conditioned to trust our doctor.

There are several heroes in this. And they paid for it, gladly.

The last minute is an absolute tear jerker! OMG! Tore me apart! And made me wish that I had a dad like him!

This documentary presents the brutal truth about "Western culture." In particular, within 80 minutes, we watch a father's fight for justice against the system in Germany, which often protects abnormal practices (search for the "Kentler Experiment"). I don't really care about the production quality of this documentary, because the value of this father's story is already immense.

I can't understand why everyone hasn't rated this 10/10. It's an amazing story of one man's compulsion to get justice - through decades. It is harrowing and touching in equal measure - I certainly found the ending emotional.

The story demonstrates the disregard for fellow human beings that still exists everywhere - not just related to the crime itself but through the justice and political systems and processes.

But it also shows that dogged determination can win through. Many people would have given up. He did not.

Everyone should watch it. You may not 'enjoy' it but I think you'll be moved.
