this movie is actually good cause incase you were kidnapped you could learn a lot from this like leaving clues or leaving finger prints etc

[jeanneratterman]

Just one person saying “i believe you, ‘ is HUGE! All the evidence she left behind, all the details of where she was held, WOW!! No family support.
I hope her life has some joy in it now, some truly loving and trustworthy friendships.

[brownieplease]

the question "why dont u believe me" hits so hard

[selfproclaimedsinger]

I was raped, and I know what it feels like to be scared that they would return and when people don't take any action to protect you. I am so incredibly proud of her and the officer who believed her. To actually push through to get to someone who would listen when people don't believe you despite you doing your best to survive the situation and get them caught is incredibly brave. (To survivors- Even if you didn't you are still incredibly brave to survive through it and I am proud of you!) We need more people like Officer Pinkerton. To have someone who believes you and is willing to fight for you is something every survivor deserves but rarely gets.

This really made me feel like I have to be safe no matter what even around my Own family and I have to watch my surroundings I’m a girl and this is almost the worst feeling ever for someone not to believe you. This has taught me a lot

[woodlandexplorers]

I have to watch this movie. My half sister was raped by my father. When she finally got the courage to tell, no one believed her. Not even our mom😭 I am the only one who stood up for her because I myself was a victim of CSA by my father’s brother. We have lost our entire family but we have gained eachother, our freedom and MOST IMPORTANTLY, OUR VOICE! Use your voice even if no one in the world believes you. One day, that person will show up for you with boxing gloves on ready to step into the fight and you will be victorious❤️

This is cool because I just recently finished a book called "the kidnapping of Christina Lattimore " and it had kind of the same idea. Basically a girl got kidnapped but no one believed her except for a detective and a reporter. Definitely recommend it 👌

[nataliesclan]

I never watched the documentary because I wasn’t allowed too but this video I felt like I’ve watched it all now. Amazing work Zia ❤️

As crazy as this sounds getting kidnapped saved her life. She was ready to kill herself the same day, same night she got kidnapped. He made her fight for survival. She was able so solve this case and meet that super supportive detective and in the end she became a cop herself and now she has children and I think grandchildren also.

This feeling of not being believed, and not getting taken seriously by anyone after rape, abuse, sexual assualt and other harassments is horrible. It ruins lives everyday.
When no one listens we eventually find ways to live with it and usually it makes us even more damaged because we just distance ourselves from the trauma but it's still there. I have forgiven people who hurt me in the past, not to their face but in my head, but I wish somebody had listened when I tried to tell people many years ago.
But I have learned something.
If adults don't understand something they usually don't change until it gets really really really bad.

So many commit suicide every year and our politics are acting like idiots, asking questions like "why does so many young adults commit suicide? And why does more then half of our population suffer with mental illnesses? (In Sweden)"
When it's fucking obvious and have been for a long time. People with knowledge and survivors have tried to raise awareness and be heard for at least 20 years but no one cared. even though I'm not happy and there is nothing that can change that right now because I'm long term sick since 3-4 years back because my brain and body eventually gave up on me and I got very mentally and physically sick, I still live for my family, they are my motivation!
I have suicidal thoughts often and it would be nice to get free from all the pain because I live with daily mental and psycial pain, but I'm getting used to it after all these years. Eventually you reach a point when you just have to accept that this is my life now and have been for years. I don't feel sorry for myself anymore, I'm too tired for that. I just exist and try to take care of my self like eating, shower, brush my teeth and stuff like that. And I go to therapy.

[RedJellyEdits]

Ayeee! I liked this edit, it felt like I watched the entire show/movie!

[haylee]

I love this movie, along with Trapped: The Alex Cooper Story, both of these movies had a big impact on my life.

[ashleejohnson]

They actually did a good job getting an actress that looks like the victim. That hasn't always happened.

[detectiveben]

I'm really happy how it went to a beautiful ending, but it also got me wondered in a very sad way ... How many more victims were treated like this? Like there were making it up, dismissed and never given the justice that they deserve

[daisy]

I watched a show similar to this one before, just like with it I cried watching this.

Not being believed by a parent or guardian is devastating and a betrayal that causes so much long-term damage. If the person responsible for your care and safety abandons you or, worse still, goes out of their way to undermine you when you need them the most, it is hard to believe that anyone will see you as worthy of protection, love or respect. It makes it so much harder to trust people, and to trust your instincts: to know when you need to stand up for yourself. After all, who will believe me?

[moontje]

The words * tell me everything, i believe you* made me cry so hard . To be believed is the most important thing after things like this happening to you.

[loverzjay]

this is the best movie ive seen it helps so many people to know what to do and to remember exactly what happened because you could be saving someone elses life.

[Warzulu]

Considering that this is very much a real world problem, this movie is way more terrifying than any horror movie.

[NepheleFallen]

I’ve seen it and it is amazingly realistic yet terrifying and heart breaking.
