    Easy
    How gullible can people be? How trustworthy can they be? And what if someone takes that trust and turns it against them? Well then you get a case like the one depicted here. You may get a neck injury from the headshaking and disbelief you will find yourself in. But apparently this really happened ... and it's really far out there if you think about it.

    The people who are being interviewed are at least refreshingly honest. If you can stomach the really despicable things that happened, you will be in awe about how this all could happen ... well in plain sight! There's a reason it is in the title of this documentary. Human nature ... unpredictable, lacking moral compass at times, being taken advantage of and so many more things that can be seen here ...
