Unseen
14 November 2018 | by stoll-10455 – See all my reviews

Good documentary, but I was expecting more of why they were "unseen" by society and the police. The documentary focused on a couple of the victims that got away. There were some very negative comments stated by one of the store owners in the neighborhood that really served no purpose in the documentary. Why the film creators decided to leave his comments in is questionable.
