Strong subject matter. An important film. Unfortunately, I felt that the subject matter was not as well realized as it could have been. But then, the subject is a difficult one to broach. How do you get people to open up fully to confront their personal demons and fears? How do you do that when the people involved have not fully overcome the past? IMHO, the failure to address these filming issues successfully and the pacing/structure are the documentary's flaws. Nevertheless, this is an important piece of work because of the subject that it depicts.
