A fascinating yet disturbing documentary about the dangers of the internet on young minds. This case is ongoing so it's surprising to see this so soon, parents of teens should probably watch it but it will worry the shit out of you. Two 12 year old girls stabbed their best friend 19 times to please the Slenderman, a mythical internet meme. There are lots of experts interviewed but the most interesting parts are the parents, they talk extensively about the girls in a very loving and fond way and seem to entirely blame the internet for the terrible crime that is barely mentioned. It would have also been interesting to hear from the victims family, all in all it is a worrying world we live in.
Like This Watch These: West of Memphis (2012) A look at the terrible American Justice system when three men end up falsely imprisoned, 13TH (2016) A truly upsetting and troubling look at the prison system in the U.S.A., Into the Abyss (2011) Conversations with a Death Row inmate and the people affected by his crimes.
