      Andrew G A personally live in a community in which this crime took place. The documentary has absolutely nothing to do with her Death. Moreover, the documentary provides an in accurate picture of life within the military, and the already existing processes and steps that help ensure that sexual harassment, of soldiers no longer takes place within the ranks. While her death is very tragic the forefront issue that this was an unfortunate crime of opportunity. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/19/22 Full Review Valerie W The powerful story about how one family demanded truth from the US Army after their daughter went missing and the how Army has failed it's soldiers time again. This story needs to be seen and change needs to happen!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/22 Full Review Christopher P Such a heartbreaking story told in such a detailed and powerful and way.
