    Complete waste of time.

    Such potentially rich content reduced to talking heads and bad audio and production and no real information. Listen to the podcast instead. Felt like a really rushed job with perhaps skewed intentions. Calling this a documentary is a real stretch.

    We have so far to come...

    The show "Atlanta" did a better job at telling at least one of the Hart children's stories in under 30 minutes in Season 3 Episode 1. Film was misleading and almost erased the very thing that made this tragedy a tragedy: the adopted and murdered children. Friends of the Hart moms seemed to be trying too hard to take up for them... any valuable information that could give more details about the murder was considered private and never discussed. I do not think this should be called a documentary or movie, but I will recommend that it be made available on Youtube for students to study cognitive dissonance.

    This film is a disgusting apologia for child murderers

    A relative of mine worked this case. It is bad enough that this MASS murder of children took place. But the California investigators who could see all the clear signs these woke women killed them were hampered by woke poltical interference as well as media which promoted conspiracy theories instead of the obvious facts of the case.

    These women took the adopted kids to Ferguson and used them. They abused the kids in every way for years and years, yet various adoption authorities ignored the obvious signs of systematic abuse because, well, this was a gay couple and therefore no on should say anything negative about them.

    This was a mass murder of black kids. But even to this day the left wing nuts who made this "documentary" (and they are left wing producers) are denying the mountain of facts, including the objective data from the vehicle computer, that these two women MURDERED these kids.

    Worst Documentary I've ever seen!

    So much information missing and too much talking by people who really didn't even know them besides on social media. Needed to focus more on facts and filling in information. Waste of money and time! Does an injustice to the children by not telling their whole story.

    This movie does no justice to the murders of these children. I completely understand the need of people who loved Jenn and Sarah to want to defend them or not believe the horror that happened behind closed doors. But there is too much evidence that wasn't even presented in this film that they were child abusers. Repeatedly reported and never really caught. There is definitely something to be said for the mental health issues that must have plagued these women. But the victims here are throes children. I implore anyone interested in the truth to do more research on this case. And check out the podcast Broken Harts. It dives way deeper and gives a lot more insight as to what was really going on .
