Very confronting

I appreciate the way this was put together. It does not give you a specific POV which it forces one to adopt, but allows you to be the judge and jury. But it's still haunting.

If you accept that Anna is right - then DMan's family felt uncomfortable letting him become an adult man and live independently. Which would be really sad because they'd have centred their comfort over his needs. There is some anecdotal evidence that perhaps he was fully aware of what was going on (especially the addiction he has now). If that is the case, removing Anna from his life was the wrong decision. That possibility makes his current existence a very haunting possibility.

On the other hand, if facilitated communication is a hoax (and again there is anecdotal evidence), then Anna is a villain and DMan's family did the right thing.

Someone is a hero and someone is a villain. But it also feels like whoever is the villain was an unwitting villain. What then is justice in those circumstances?

I appreciate the way Louis Theroux does documentaries. He documents and lets us sit with the burden of deciding and finding a resolution.

Nightmare ever for every proffesional health and otherwise caretaker , when it comes to a point where love has become a part of the interaction, and non of the parts really cant protect themselves from the consequences of their acts...

its a documentary that may disgust most people where the one eyed pea just looks in one direction, whilst the defendant (and in this case also the victim) may have a more nuanced picture of the whole affair, and isnt allowed to tell that side of the story because the public has only one consideration of her deeds, thats called indespicable pervertions...

i shall not say whats wrong or not, but i cannot stop myself from imagining them as a kind of couple, and i think that none other than the family of the victim would feel as the purpertrated ones...

do not misunderstand my thoughts, many relationships among ''normals'' shouldve been avoided too, look at all the domestic violence that happens within the realms of a ''normal'' household...

i 'll admit that i got angry by this documentary and its outcome, let this woman regain freedom from her deemed excile to do what she does best of all, namely teach that nobody else dares to ...

Typical Luis Theroux, documentary - shocking subject, lazy treated.

This documentary is mostly a series of baffling monologues.

We still do not know if the poor guy was assessed by someone else during his apparent college carrier. How did he attended college classes? Are any other professors or colleagues who saw him at that time?

Was Anna Stubblefield mentally stable?

Was she philologically tested during and after the trial?

How can a "respected academic" have sex with a disabled patient?

What did the support assistant do and thought about the state of the patient?

Was anyone else involved in

Typical Luis Theroux, documentary - shocking subject, lazy treated.
