Her name is Grace Millane

This is a amazing documentary which shines the light on the darkness women encounter around the world. A beautiful soul extinguished by the actions of a cowardly maggot. This documentary is very thoughtful in its approach. It never sets out to tarnish the victim like the courts do, instead it shows how determined the justice system was when the world's spotlight was on them. The law enforcement gave their all with such brilliant investigation, all whilst the coward lied and kept lying, trying to tarnish Grace, but never succeeding due to the evidence that he supplied. Killers like this maggot never fail to suprise me with how inept their egos are and somehow still believe they are superior. Grace was taken from this world but was loved by family, friends and all who followed her journey. Her legacy will never be forgotten, whilst the coward rots in prison, his name will always be synonymous with his crime. Bravo to the director in her approach to this case. No woman should ever be a victim to any man's sick fantasy, and one day we can only hope there will be a future where crimes like this will never ever be a normalised hushed up secret.

Tough to sit through

I live in New Zealand and am a New Zealander so this was really sad that this happened in our country. I think so many us felt so shocked and angry such a tragedy could occur in a supposedly safe country. We clearly got a lot of work to do as Grace should have been safe here. This is a well made documentary that shows you the harsh reality of what unfolded at the evil hands of a predator. It is beyond shocking how he behaved, lied and tried to cover his tracks after killing Grace. Evil intent was definitely there and we see glimpses into such a disturbed person. Viewers are left asking what sort of upbringing or childhood did someone have to become a monster. Tough to watch but well made.

You feel for this sweet girl

The case even though quickly solved, was quite saddening and also terrifying. These days I don't like watching documentaries as they keep dragging with flashbacks for people childhoods and how happy they were and all. This documentary gets straight to the point. They did make it seem like suspense in the beginning and then things quickly unravel. If this is first time you are hearing about grace than it's an interesting watch. I'm glad the investigators wasted no time. The interviews were so taken very calmly and no wiggle room for the perpetrator to get out jail. I'm glad the lawyers were also very thorough with the evidence. However, documentary Makes you wonder if a peaceful country like New Zealand is not safe than where else would you even go to travel solo.
