Life Overtakes Me (2019)
Fascinating and Tragic
19 January 2022 - 1 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
An incredibly fascinating documentary about a tragic condition. I was left wishing I'd gotten more background on where the families were from and the circumstances of that led them to seek asylum. After all, that was what provoked the condition. But as a human and especially a parent, it was so touching to see how well taken care of these children were by their parents. I'd never heard about this condition before, and it was amazing to see trauma on display in such a physical manner. That is probably why this was an effective short documentary. There's no way you could sum up "emotional" trauma in that short of a time.
