A complete waste of time.
First of all, I believe that any intelligent human being realized from the beginning that this blond girl with blue contact lenses, walking like a robot and talking with artificially high pitched voice, claiming that she doesn't know what Wallmart is, is an act. Sorry Paris but we all knew. Even in Simple Life you sometimes spoke with your regular low voice so no surprise here.
I do feel sorry for Paris for having to deal with with psychotic men. But hey, some of us also have to deal with them but we have less money and time to feel sorry for ourselves.
Second, I don't buy that trauma stuff. I mean I do understand that it must have been awful being taken from your own bed by some strange people and I do believe that what they're doing there, in that school, is sick. But at the same time I feel like Paris should have gone to therapy a million times since then. She has all the means in the world to get the best help she can get to deal with trauma. What's more important, she has all resources to be who she wants to be, or to be someone who does something good for the world. And this brings me to the last thing. What really made me disappointed with this documentary was Paris' claim that she won't stop until she's a billionaire. As simple as that. No higher values, no other purpose. But one can see, and she admits it, that she's all about the money. And that's just sad. Especially when you think of her best friend's half-sister, who was named the youngest billionaire of all times. It must have hurt. And makes me feel like she just made another documentary to make more money. And she needed something shocking that would help her gain more viewers but it's not really as shocking as one may think. Yes boarding schools are tough, but so are public schools in bad neighborhoods.
After watching this documentary I feel like I was wrong.
