Black and Missing

I thoroughly enjoyed this doc. Not enjoyed in terms of entertainment value, but rather subject matter and importance of the issues illustrated. It's a subject that has always made me angry because of the cruel in-your-face bigotry.

This past summer we saw the truth of the whole "missing white woman" syndrome. At the same time of the Gabby P. Situation there was a father of a missing young black man (Daniel R.) in Arizona that was desperately trying to get air time & the mother of another missing young black man (Jelani D.) in Illinois that was going through the same struggle. I make this point because this series illustrated that exact same point repeatedly just doing so using other older cases.

I'm thankful this doc was made because until folks admit there's a problem there's no way to come up with any positive, working solution.

It's very frustrating seeing such a disproportionate number of 1-star ratings but nobody giving a review saying why. Ignore the 1-stars, it's just trolls trying to discourage and discredit Black media (yet again). Very informative and well-done documentary. If you're a fan of true crime, it's a good watch. Came here because of an episode of My Favorite Murder I listened to, and glad I've taken the time to watch the work this women are doing with their foundation.

How can someone that is not ignorant and racist rate this documentary as 1 star?

People (racists) are complaining "oH wHy MaKe iT aBoUt RaCe?!", and that is so stupid. Facts, statistics and the documentary are telling us that black people missing are being overlooked by law enforcement and the media, and the point is to equalize things, not ask for benefits or to make institutions care less about white people.

People complaining are the same that wear T-shirt "aLL LiVe mAtTeRs" and claiming racism isn't structured into our societies.

It's really disheartening to see the ratings because this is a REALLY good documentary, they aren't preaching anything, there are a lot of interest information and stories and everything is really well tied together.

Congrats to HBO and to all these brave people fighting to get their loved ones back or to finally find some closure.

A thoughtful, informative docuseries exploring some cases of missing Black women, men, and children as well as an organization seeking to find the missing and to prevent others going missing.

At less than 60 votes, the series has a rating less than 4 - looking at the demographics, it's clear than there are a good number of men who downvoted it. Misogyny, IMDb, you really ought ought to address it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the series and the stories that were highlighted throughout the episodes. The series did a good job of balancing suspension and hope while covering both solved and unsolved disappearances. A definite must for people who enjoy crime series, documentaries and ethnographic programs. I do hope they release more episodes. It is sad to know some of the people covered in the series were never found.
