"Victim/Suspect", 2023
A good documentary can take on a very complicated subject and render it digestible within an acceptable viewing time. Sadly, I did not encounter this with "Victim/Suspect". The narrative became more complicated as it moved along, many repetitions and shots of our reporter at airports, in her room, etc. This wasted time. As it went along, her editorial board kept widening the scope, not narrowing it. Also, the reporter assured the viewer how "unbiased" she was going to be, i.e. Sitting as a neutral before all the facts and such. That is a load of horse feathers, plus I don't care if she is biased-who would not be?! The documentary drifted into the tedious zone and lost me. One thing this elderly, male viewer can conclude, any woman accursing someone of rape better have an advocate with her at a minimum (better if they are an attorney)-anywhere in the country. In Alabama, however, they should call in the reincarnated versions of Clarence Darrow and Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
