I looked forward to seeing this. It seemed compelling and important. It was neither.
Sadly, the splitting between 'interviews' and the 'movie' created a downdraft effect which neither allowed me to get properly involved with the characters or to truly explore the utmost of their situations.
This should have been gripping, however it appeared to be a gloss over of a series of people's lives; more of a pallid documentary without any real showing of what a horrendous stress, terror, pain and suffering the situations of these young people were.
I think this was a massive missed opportunity of something that should have been brilliant but was not.
