    Watch it. If you've money here's something else you can get away with...
    This is an incredibly interesting and near seat-gluing documentary, extremely well put together with many fascinating interviews with people who seemingly know exactly what happened in Belize.

    Burstein says she's interested in how money, power and fame can afford people privileges which allow them to get away with things others could not. To many this may seem like a given and very few 'ordinary' people can do anything but know it's absolutely true - look at who's running the country! - and this film simply confirms the fact.

    All the FBI has to do is find the culprit (avoiding spoilers) and do an DNA test. Burstein found him but maybe the FBI's not that clever or perhaps they lack the resources or perhaps it's simply a question of the rich and famous getting away with things. Again.

    In all, a fascinating and very watchable movie.
