Gripping documentary without providing an easy outcome

Unlike the sensationalism and speed of the Netflix documentary, Jim Sheridan's series is more contemplating and filled with heartfelt sadness. In that way I prefer this documentary, even though I was very hesitant at first.

The director in person, carefully sheds light on all the facts, the testimonies, the mistakes in the research, the need to find justice.

During my visits to West Cork with my family I have come to fall in love with the beautiful country. It is heartbreaking to find out about the dreadful event that took place over there and realizing that true justice is still not served.

One man claims he is innocent, many say the opposite but the irrefutable evidence is lacking. Nevertheless the documentary remains gripping to the last minute. All the details, the conversations, the emotions. I loved its attention to detail, the background information, the facts, the doubt, the beautiful landscape that was once the silent witness of the crime committed.

In The Netherlands (my country) recently a well-known research reporter was killed. Peter R. De Vries was very famous for overlooking all the facts and using modern forensic research methods to solve cases like these. I would have liked to hear his opinion on this case and if there would be a way to find true justice.
