I wrote a sizable review and it got deleted so this is just a brief description of what I remember. Because trust me this film is forgettable. If I have to see another camera shot of rain pelting against a window pane for cinematic effect I'll die of boredom. This whole film just felt too scripted. Especially for a documentary. With the heavy subject matter, where is the evidence? Yeah it's tough on these men to reveal every heartbreaking tragic detail of their experience, well Marcus mainly, but to just assume that the viewer will completely believe what has happened to them simply because they're telling us feels like exactly what a "story" is all about. A story. A cleverly crafted story told with the intent to entertain. I'm not doubting something awful has happened here. But this is a documentary and we the viewers want rawness and truthfulness. This film will not deliver that. Instead you get great story telling about a life that sounds like a tale.
