Featured review
Very good documentary!
For fans of the true crime genre, American Nightmare offers a very well documented, detailed and also with the real victims, they are not actors. They even have audio and video evidence.
This documentary rise the questions around judging and pointing fingers without sufficient evidence, disbelief and the failings of our institutions, the truth is that it is not a new issue, although in this case it is extremely cruel and I would say that it is even illegal. The word 'negligence' falls short in this case, it is much worse than negligence.
I would have liked to know more about Andrea's ex-partner, the FBI agent, but it still doesn't matter for the final result. And also a psychological profile of Matthew Muller could have maybe added a new view to the story.
When a citizen finds themselves in a dangerous situation, their first thought is to get help from the authorities because that's what they are meant to do, at least come forward to prove they are not lying! But what if they deny to believe you? The officers tried everything to break them down by pointing fingers at them from the beginning. Really frustrating! My blood pressure went up! And if that were not enough, let's talk about the press, always inventing things just to damage and break our lives. I will tell journalist Henry Lee, from the San Franciso Chronicle, not to judge without knowing, that is not doing your job well at all!, but simply wanting to harm others in every way. I hope it happens to you one day, let's see if we believe you. Asking for forgiveness later makes no sense any more, damage is already done!
I just hope that after all this unnecessary drama and loss of a lot of money, the organizations that should help us when we need it most have learned something.
I absolutely recommend it!
