Anyone else watching right now? It's pretty interesting thus far.

It's very heavy handed and over dramatic.

I prefer more documentary type films.

I'm watching Princesses of Long Island.


It's underhanded and over dramatic and awesome.

Yeah, I agree. I thought it would be more dramatic when it was listed as a film rather than a documentary.

They just showed a segment where a 6 year old sold, basically, into slavery is supposed to have had the thought process of, "I want to ask my parents if I can come back home and go to school with my brother, but I know how poor they are, and understand they can't take care of me now."

So I'm guessing she was raped by master number 2, but why not mention it? It's not like he can come after her, right?

Eh, I'm switching between this and Snapped.

Killing people is a much simpler way to rewind after a long day.

I really am enjoying listening to the sound of Liam Neeson's voice, however.
