| User ReviewBrandon MDevastating story of the Petit family, targeted by a pedophile in the grocery store. All of the information was there, but the murderer's family & friends never said anything. Mrs. Petit was probably the only person to ever stand up to him. The film illustrates how religion demonizes mental health and how, without proper care, victims can perpetuate the violence done to them onto others. |
