    Horrible

    I'm sorry but I blame the mother who put herself first. Why would you go back just to have your girls killed. She felt guilty about leaving her husband. That's horrible.

    12 years of freedom is nothing compared to......

    12 years free. Said will be burning in HELL FOREVER.

    And Patricia Owens Said is even dumber than Anna Duggar.

    Don't buy those FAKE TEARS their mother wipes away in their story. It is largely Patricia's fault that they are dead.

    It Did What It Intended to Do

    I don't disagree with many of the other reviewers who are critical of how the film was put together, or how much time it spent with one sister as opposed to the other, or some other storyline/technical aspects of it. I wonder if, to some extent, they were limited in who they could talk to or who would talk to them (for example, did Sara have a boyfriend/boyfriend's family who would talk? Were there people who were "close" enough to Yeser and its herd to provide more info?) Having said that, when I finished watching this movie, I saw the sperm donor ("father" if we were talking about a human) and womb provider ("mother" with the previous caveat) as unmitigated evil and off-the-chart stupidity, respectively. I felt for the friends and relatives of the girls, and grieved for them and the girls. To that extent, this movie was an overwhelming success, and worth the 9 I gave it.

    I was aware Yaser and accomplices were recently captured. Thankful TX is a death penalty state.

    Their Mother and Local Authorities Failed

    Now that Yaser Said, Islam Said and the girls' uncle have been convicted, I hope a more detailed documentary is produced. It should more explicitly cover how the girls' mom and the local authorities also failed them.

    I agree with others who have stated that the storytelling is a bit all over the place. I think it's partly because the Irving Police Department and other local authorities were unwilling to talk. The documentary also primarily tells Amina's story and not Sarah's. However, I'm glad someone had the courage to take the time to tell the story of what happened. There's just so much more that needs to be examined and exposed.

    Horrific

    It was hard for me to watch. There is one lone review which gave the doc 1 star. That's a bit harsh; however, everything that the reviewer stated was absolutely true. The film was done sloppily and more should have been said about Sara - the other sister - who was shot as well.

    The 'mother' of these two young sisters is repulsive. A low life who does not deserve to draw breath on this planet. Despicable.
