OMG, where to start...
If the intent of this film was to help tell Vera's story and bring justice for her, it failed miserably. Instead, it was content to sensationalize a contingent of vile, gross, disturbed, inbred people and their brutal, impoverished way of life. I actually felt like I had to bathe after watching this.
My heart broke for Vera, and the little I learned about her. But the story was too haphazard to help me understand how she wound up in this predicament, and why her mother didn't do ANYTHING to get her out of it.
One thing that I did learn from this film is that we, as a society, are much to willing to throw disability checks at people and then tuck them away in some backwoods place and forget about them.
Oh, and one word to almost everyone in the film...'Dentist'.
All in all, this documentary is creepy, but not in a good way. Pass it by on Amazon...
