I watched this documentary on MSNBC last night after reading about it on Aint it Cool News. It was one of the most moving movies I've ever seen. I sat there like a little girl fighting back tears the whole time. It's got some great twists along the way and made me hate nearly everything that is that icy wasteland known as Canada. I'd love to tell all of you when it's on but I can't figure out stupid MSNBC's website, but I think you can watch it on there.

I watched last night on my Xbox streaming from Netflix. I bawled my eyes out. It was supposed to be a movie right before I went to bed and I haven't slept since. Definitely the most heartbreaking movie I've ever seen.

I saw this not too long ago. I'll admit I teared up as well.

Yanks all the emotional strings. If it had just focused on the horrible miscarriage of justice, it would have been an interesting documentary. But you truly get a feel for the people involved, and realize how one life can have such a profound reach.

I wonder how many Hollywood writers are working on scripts after seeing this and trying to dramatize this story?

I just looked it up on imdbpro it doesn't look like anyone got the rights to it yet.
