This well-crafted, well-acted made-for-TV movie breaks the mold of your typical docu-drama.
No spoilers here, but I assure you that you WILL empathize with the much-abused protagonist, whose life after the film ends proved to be equally tragic.
A true gem. Don't miss it when it replays on LifeTime, or if you can find it at a rental store.
