I'm struggling to write this review, as I am well aware of how unjust this country's justice system is for Black people. However, unlike the majority of the reviewers here, I have little empathy for those who decide to commit a crime to save their business/get out of debt, then cry "woe-is-me" when they're dealt with by our justice system.
In fact, it was mentioned the wife was smart-enough to take the plea-deal; the husband stood-trial, blatantly guilty, and recieved a sentence 5 times longer than his wife. According to a comment the wife's mother made, he could have taken the same deal as his wife. If that was the case, going to trial, in Louisiana, BLATANTLY GUILTY of a planned crime, and thinking he'd get a better outcome, was just foolish.
After seeing the trailer I was under the impression perhaps her husband was wrongfully convicted and she was seeking justice... this is far from what happened. It makes sense to me why the wife's mother appeared unbothered/indifferent during this documentary.
At any rate, I'm an advocate of Black love and keeping the Black family together, and I'm happy they were able to reunite.
