9/10
Brillant doc on Identity, Crime, Football
20 January 2020
Football star Aaron Hernandez (1989-2017) was convicted for killing a buddy, Odin Lloyd. This documentary shows the web of possible elements that contributed to making Hernandez complicit in crimes and murder: Suffering from brain damage from his athletic career. Being an intelligent, troubled, sensitive boy in a disrupted family. Unable to cope with closeted homosexuality in a homophobic sports world and his own heteronormative community. Too much marijuana. Living a life with success, fame and discipline - and anger, guns, violence, and questionable people. Unable to develop a functioning personality. A compellingly put together puzzle of reasons and facts
