Audrie & Daisy

In some ways the most horrifying aspects of this film are not the details of what happened but the aftermath. In the case of Daisy Coleman, the community and local law enforcement colluded to shield the young men and shame and exclude the Coleman family. The Sheriff all but stated the two girls were somehow equally responsible for what happened and that Melinda Coleman was nutty. In the case of Audrey Potts the two main participants came across as completely lacking in remorse of understanding. At one point on of the two young men involved in the Potts assault says the biggest thing he learned out of the experience was that "girls gossip and boys are more laid back". Most people with any empathy will want to punch both the Mayor and Sheriff in the face. Maryville Missouri looks like a pretty corrupt place. The Potts lost their daughter and the reality is assaults against young women especially when alcohol is involved happen every day.

The one hopeful thing that comes out of this is that Coleman, the Potts family and others have all become advocates for others.

I don't know what hits me more.. the apology of one of the guys that included that he learned "that girls gossip a lot more & guys are more laid back"? or the maryland prosecutor dropping the charges? the police-man's comment saying the girl was as much at fault as the guy? or the bullying? or the maryland politician (?) asking why the media explodes about this but doesn't report that they built a lake and golf course being under the best 100 in america?

...or some of the comments on here criticizing 'the condescending tone' in the documentary and questioning the 'agenda' of making it...

i am thunderstruck, at loss for words..

As the father of a little girl, I recommend parents everywhere to watch this movie. This movie addresses the sad reality that many teenage girls in the United States (Yes, right under our noses) are being sexually assaulted by none other than their classmates or male friends. And due to political or peer pressure reasons, these cases are often dismissed... and the girls ignored--sometimes, even bullied and condemned as liars.

Absolutely shocking to watch this.

This town destroyed lives, destroyed families and the stupidest man I have ever seen is actually the sheriff! Unbelievable!

The way he brushes off everything got me so mad, how can any town elect this idiot!!!

As a grown man that likes to think he is very manly this documentary made me cry, I have watched it a couple of times, I watched it again after I read about the tragedies that have happened to Daisy and her family since this was made, absolutely heart breaking.

With Audrie I have no idea why a family has to fight for justice for what happened to her!! Justice should be there for her!!

Then listening to the losers that attacked her being so relaxed about it and going on about how guys are more relaxed than girls.... hopefully these guys have nothing but misery in their lives!

Audrie and Daisy 2 beautiful girls both inside and out. R. I. P.

Please watch this documentary and let your older kids watch it too, educating the younger generation is the way forward, don't let them grow up with the attitude of that brain dead sheriff.

Apart from being so sad and heartbreaking, it is far more than a simple documentary. It is a life lesson that many aren't aware of. It is something you are never taught in school, although similar things happen around you often. "Taboo" would be the word for this case. I can not believe that in ours today society we still face problems like this. And what's more disturbing is the fact that no action is taken by those who have the power to do something in this sense, leaving the "wounded" with scars on their souls and, even worse, with the accusation that they are liars and came intentionally with this bs just to be given attention.
