Very difficult document to watch. I was furious the whole time. I only vaguely heard of Epstein after his "suicide" in his cell and didn't pay too much attention to this guy. I'm glad that they didn't really focus into how he came to his wealth because focusing too much on that would be basically glorifying Epstein.
Also, I'm curious if any of the "recruiters" got charged. It can be easy to sympathize with them and not think much about their actions because they are victims, but in the end, they did solicit prostitution. I'm not sure if being a victim yourself and being financially unstable is enough of an excuse to commit such acts. I am more surprised that no one really came forward in this big of a pyramid scheme for years. I am not going to pretend to understand what the thought processes of the victims were, but I find recruitment a little scummy.
Other than that, great documentary with solid pacing and narrative.
