Very dry and slow. I'm very interested in this case and there are some great docs on it. This is not one of them. The kidnapped kids that are now adults are being interviewed. They focus on a few people that had bad lives with alcoholism and nasty behavior. And of course they blame this 2 day long kidnapping. But how do we know this is the case? What did their family members do? Were they hardworking people who didn't drink? Because simple heritability would explain this stuff so I'm not sure this 2 day kidnapping really caused some person to become an alcoholic 20 years later. They even show interviews with the kids and they are all happy and smiling and giving cheeky responses. Clearly there is no PTSD here if you look at how the kids behaved. Yet 40 years later they claim huge PTSD and even at all times begged for the kidnappers to stay in prison even though they clearly were no danger to society anymore after 3-4 decades in prison. This is a miss. It tries way too hard to be overly melodramatic for no good reason. And it makes it a dull watch.
