  • Compelling viewing

    This is a chilling exposé of a sociopath at work. In every frame of this absorbing documentary you cannot help but question the real motives of everything Peter Madsen says and does. Of course, hindsight is a wonderful thing and you really feel empathy for the cast of characters caught up in his web of deceit.

    The producers and director do a great job weaving the characters (effectively innocent bystanders) to the main plot. The director also manages to ratchet up the tension as we get nearer and nearer to the already known, but still feared, denouement.

    This is a great piece of documentary work by the same producers who gave us the equally absorbing Amanda Knox story.

  • Captivating documentary

    From the moment this documentary film starts you will be swept up into the very fabric of the story. It weaves, twists and enthrals. You can feel every frustrated breath Patricio takes as he tries desperately to rescue his seven grandchildren - and all of this set against the grief of losing his daughter, mother to those children.

    The wall of inaction Patricio has to bang his head against would leave most of us fatigued and defeated. Not this man. He has a singular vision - to be reunited with his grandchildren. He encounters bluff and shadows from the politicians and governments - he quite literally appears to be on his own. Not to spoil the ending but it is well worth watching. Humanity has a future and his name is Patricio.
