Intense and disturbing

This was a very compelling and intense watch!Mainly because this documentary was made with only authentic news fragments, press footage and police communication without any narration.The disgusting behavior of the press and the public and the amateurish way the police handled this situation made my blood boil.Those interactions with the hostage takers and hostages were so bizarre to see... You learn to know the hostages, feel for them and hope for a good outcome. Even though you know it won't end well for everyone involved.It all felt a bit too real (?)... :s Very disturbing!This one will stick with me for a while... definitely worth watching!

Sad doc about incompetence

The doc show a terrible hostage situation, with media out for blood and just terrible police incompetence.What's even more sad is that it's not better today. Just look at the police in Uvalde, Texas, that stood in the corridor waiting for an hour while kids were slaughtered.
