I'm going to write this documentary's review as a response to all the 1-3 star reviewers who hated it for being so "very one-sided."
1) Obviously, you must believe then when Cindy claims that her deceased ex-boyfriend Alex had sold all of the drugs and she never sold any, well she just must be one seriously lying b****, huh?
2) You must be fully onboard with a girlfriend being held 100% responsible for a boyfriend's crimes, whether she participated in them or not. How about reversing their genders? That, also? New scenario: a wife poisons her first husband, but is never arrested until you're engaged to be her second husband. New evidence is uncovered and she's convicted, but kills herself in prison and can't be sentenced for her conviction. So are YOU now to be held 100% liable for the killing of her first husband? Doesn't seem fair, does it?
3) You must really love the idea of mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug crimes, in general, and the 15-year duration for criminal conspiracy to sell illegal narcotics, in particular. And if you never actually sold any narcotics, how did you go about conspiring to commit crime(s)?
4) If you're of the belief that "there's no such thing as a nonviolent drug offense" because of the volume of violence directly or indirectly related to or resulting from drugs, then if a dime bag is sold and a person driving high on it hits and accidentally kills a sober person, then the seller of said bag is a murderer and gets death?
These are some of the questions and scenarios raised to my mind by this documentary movie. If you can watch it through to the end and think that "she only got what she deserved" or even deserved a longer prison stay, well s***w you!
