A documentarian should be skillful enough to allow us to hold two truths at the same time - the tragedy of a child's life lost, and the tragedy of a man's life destroyed by false allegations. This documentarian only seems capable of handling one truth at a time.
What happened to Nick Hillary is horrific. 5 stars for revealing the corruption we're all getting used to seeing from law enforcement in these types of cases as well as the covert racism prevalent in New England vs the overt racism often seen the American South.
Minus 5 stars for misleading me with a title like "Who Killed Garrett Phillips?" instead of "Who Framed Nick Hillary?" A CHILD was MURDERED, and not only does it seem like his own mother and town would rather see a conviction than hold the ACTUAL PERPETRATOR responsible, but it doesn't really seem like the documentarian cares who killed Garrett Phillips either. What I'd love to see is an investigative doc into WHO ACTUALLY KILLED GARRETT PHILLIPS. You know, or maybe an interview with actual family members? Or his lil friends? Or his teachers? Or his coaches? Maybe some home videos of Garrett Phillips while he was alive, so that that viewers really feel the impact of his death?
