This is an entertaining documentary, it interviews a lot of important people to the case, both from the defense and the prosecution (however, no one from Reeva's family, not even anyone of her friends, this is an indication of what the documenary is ultimately trying to accomplish, that I didn't quite catch from the beginning). However, after I finished watching it, I felt a little off, and iffy. A simple google search help me know why.
If you want to see it, you should go in knowing two very important factors:
1) The documentary is extremely graphic. It shows you very GORY images of the murder with no narrative justification whatsoever, with the seeming sole intention of making the prosecution look bad.
2) While the doc spends two full hours analizing the trial from both the prosecution and the defense points of view, it outright OMITS facts and sayings of the Pistorious narrative that would make his version of events look absurd, and it leaves in ONLY the things that make his version of the murder seem plausible. A simple google search can correct this.
So, if you want to see this, you should know that while it is quite entertaining and engrossing, it hides it's true intentions behind a facade of balanced reporting and neutrality that by the end, it is not even trying that hard to maintain, going so far as to making the whole pistorius family look like victims, desevring of our sympathy and pity.
