A few years ago a close friend of mine was killed by a drunk driver. This documentary really hits home for me. I cannot imagine a reason anyone would make a documentary trying to portray this person who killed my friend as a saint. This film tries to do almost exactly that. The only difference is this woman killed 7 innocent people. I went in with an open mind thinking there was going to be some exculpatory evidence that proves this woman wasnt a drunk murderer. I was wrong. Instead this film goes to extraordinary lengths to portray her as a saint. Diving into her childhood and talking with several of her highschool and adult friends who all say what an amazing woman she was. She had a bac of almost .20 and a high level of thc while driving with several kids in the car and killed everyone in the other car she hit. She had a freaking bottle of vodka in the car but the family refuses to admit she was drinking. She was not a saint, she was not a good parent, she wasnt a good person and no amount of interviews with family saying otherwise will change that. This film should not have been made and if the director needed to tell this story, it should have focused on the innocent lives lost. Not the selfish POS that took them.
