Black and Missing

Really thought provoking and challenging doc. I don't understand (or maybe I do) why there are so many 1 star ratings out there. I devour true crime docs and docs in general. This show is what I've been looking for. So strange that people bothered to give 1 star but didn't bother to write a review hmmm.

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.

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.

I saw that over 40 "reviewers" rated this well-done and compelling documentary with one star. It's sad that people really can't handle the truth when it's displayed so heartbreakingly in front of them. Hard to defend a one star rating when you don't write a review to go with it. "Black and Missing" is a stellar documentary about two determined women who are filling a void that is too often forgotten.

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.
