    Heartless Movie Lacking Information

    This movie is disgusting. Don't rent or buy this, this is just a movie about their friends defending the abusive parents, and trashing the people who stood up for the children. This movie is terrible, excuses were being made for the parents right and left and the children were forgotten. I can't believe they took the time to make this and thought this was a good idea.

    Stop the background music

    Try re-releasing this documentary without the corny background music and maybe you'll land a couple more stars. This could have been so much better. Delve into the personalities of these women-talk to their families, figure out what went wrong, was it something in their past? I saw the ratings before I started watching and thought, "Well, I'll see what I can deduce myself from the interviews," but honestly, the music was so annoying-I couldn't get through it.

    Why?

    There were way too many interviews with people who tried their best to turn these witches into humans, but why? Why weren't there more interviews with the children's biological family members? Why didn't this documentary expose more details regarding the abuse these children suffered? Why weren't there more interviews with members of the justice system who ripped these kids away from their biological family members? Why, why, why? I asked myself why throughout this documentary and to say I was frustrated and annoyed while watching this, is an understatement.

    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.

    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.
