This documentary provides a glaring look at our culture's conception of domestic violence and just how little progress has actually been effectively made. While there is much focus on JW Bobbit, the 4 hr docu-series doesn't shy away from spotlighting all his documented victims, the essence of abuse and ptsd, and our own propensity to diminish the underlying issue while sensationalizing the shock at the expense of the victims. It could've been condensed to 2 hrs but it does a great job of setting the nostalgia of the 90s atmosphere while paralleling it with today's culture. Making its message even moreso relevant. It's not for everyone but i did enjoy it.
