Did anyone else watch this?
I found it really difficult to watch, especially the beginning, and cried like a baby when they were rescued.
Lifetime movies are my guilty pleasure.

I watched it, it was so gruesome and sad! We watched the after interview too, she is an amazing woman!

Oh, I missed it. The women were on Fresh Air last week talking about their ordeal. What's crazy is that they sort of knew him in the neighborhood before the abduction. What's even crazier is that the 911 dispatcher wasn't aware of the missing persons case when she called 911 and nearly had her hang up. The dispatcher got disciplined because the abductions were such a part of Cleveland culture, not knowing who was calling could have been much worse for the victim.

@MrsKRB: I was just wondering if I should watch the after interview. I don't know if I can handle it. I'm a mess after watching that movie. I can't imagine what those women endured and she came out having such strong faith. She is so strong, it's crazy.
-
@cascademom: That's crazy!!! I had no idea. I hope that dispatcher has learned their lesson....geez!
-
I thought it was good....the whole dynamic is interesting in the sense that the women "split off" after the ordeal. So the movie was from the perspective of Michelle knight, but then the other two just wrote a book together.

@ValentineMommy: Here's the link for the podcast of the episode: http://www.npr.org/podcasts/381444908/fresh-air Scroll to April 29th.

@cascademom: Thanks!

@hotchildinthecity: I thought that was really strange that they kinda went their separate ways. You'd think they'd be bonded forever, but who knows.
-
I remember reading something that said the man kept them separated for most of the early years and pitted them again't each other.
-
I don't typically watch Lifetime movies, but nothing else was on TV so I watched it. It was incredibly difficult to watch some of the movie. I cannot even begin to imagine what they went through. It just makes my stomach turn to think of it.
-
Omg, I watched like 5 minutes of it when it was on the other night and I had to change the channel. And usually I'm totally into the true crime, creepy movies like that. It was just so disturbing...and the fact that it really happened really wanted to make me throw up.
-
Admittedly, I fast forwarded through a lot of the scenes in the beginning (I had DVRed it). It was really graphic.
-
I read Michelle's book but missed the special. Anywhere I can watch it online?
@hotchildinthecity: I always wondered about the "split off" as well. I am interested to read their book and read their perspective of the situation. Tragic all around.
