See, I disagree with most reviews on here that state that the documentary did not need to include the YouTube conspiracy theorists, or the theories surrounding Elisa's death. I think they were important too. I feel like this documentary highlighted several factors through: Social media and it's power, Elisa's mysterious disappearance, the poverty in LA (which disturbed me a lot that people still live like this in todays society - it literally reminded me of a ghetto) and mental health issues. All of these issues were interesting in themselves.
The thing that stood out to me was theories floating around on the Internet, becoming so caught up that they accuse an innocent man - it's scary that the Internet can condemn you as a murderer with no evidence. It also shocked me how people with no qualifications to investigate a crime thought they could make such judgements. But again, it was interesting as it highlighted the danger everyone faces when uploading anything to social media.
It was definitely worth the watch in my opinion, gave me several things to think about.
