Broken Harts

This very detailed and informational documentary tells the horribly tragic case of the well known Hart family who plunged to their deaths on the California coast. It includes the history of the 6 adopted kids, the women who adopted them and the mistreatment these kids endured.

Unfortunately, this story will be seized upon in a 'we told you so' manner and I write this review in counter to the other review by jfnaoau who portrays the family in a racist and homophobic way. These were great kids whose lives began and ended in unfortunate circumstances. These were 2 women who purposely misled the public and had terrible parenting skills. The race or family makeup makes no difference to what happened to this family. Fortunately the documentary does not try to paint this family unit in a negative light but focuses on the behavior of each individual. This is an American tragedy enhanced by the failures of the court and Child Protective Services.

I feel that the African American man hijacked this story to try and make it about race. If you want to blame social services for not interfering, I think it has more to do with two lesbian parents than the fact that they are white. Everyone was fooled by the lesbian mothers having the picture perfect family. I don't know the laws in Texas, but why did the Aunt leave them with her daughter who let the biological mother come see them? There are no easy answers, and six beautiful children lost their lives in this social experiment.

Ugh. It's such a sad story with a horrible outcome. However the documentary has such a obvious agenda it's sickening. The blue haired gentleman hates white people every time he comes on it's some kind of Condescending comment about white people specifically white women. This Messes with the whole documentary. The blue haired gentleman is gaggingly sickening.

Two White lesbians became the guardians of six intractable black youths and proved what anyone without a corrupt mind already knew.

The film is banal, with the obvious agenda of the director unintentionally providing the only true commentary on a society hopelessly professing/pretending to believe anything other than the truth.

Excellent job Zaron, I appreciate that you call it what is is. I will never understand how this tragic story played out but you have helped me tremendously. Thank you.
