Mind Over Murder (2022)
Elegant documentary ~
Brilliant unfolding and story telling for such a horrific tale. With a strangely almost loving under current for all the principals. An adept fairness. Can't wait for the next episode. Kudos to the filmmakers for their portrait of Helen Wilson. Carefully setting in our minds the love of for family and her poetic nature with the use of old footage and tapes. Even the town of Beatrice is fixed in my memory now. All done with such light strokes, never devices or manipulation.
The Deep End (2022)
GREAT DOC
If you are fascinated by alternate ways of thinking and religious studies you might enjoy this. A friend of my years ago recommended I watch one of Teal Swan's documentary's. I wish I had tuned in more to understand what Swan was preaching. I would have understood my friend more, but I found her cliche and odd and really couldn't wade through the huge catalogue of self help drones she posts on-line. There weren't any documentaries about her and all I had was these weird YouTube videos that just turned me off. I wondered what and asked what the draw was for him. Now with this documentary I realize that my friend had been severely depressed and suicidal. His brother had recently died and he was lost. He lived states away from family and had moved to a small island and was taking dissociative drugs. Suddenly he found this group on-line who spoke directly to him. He left town and I wonder if he fell into the group and is still with them. I'm enjoying the documentary so much that I hope there will be more than 4 episodes. Really well done on a difficult subject.
