Two American filmmakers travel undercover in China and Tibet during one of the most precarious times in the country's recent history.

Unable to document their intended subjects, they are forced to turn the cameras on themselves as they become the targets. All their moves are followed, leading to hotel break-ins, equipment theft, and cyber-hacking and spying - ultimately putting the filmmakers' very lives in danger.

The Central Park Five

In 1989, five black and Latino teenagers from Harlem were arrested and later convicted of raping a white woman in New York City's Central Park. They spent between 6 and 13 years in prison before a serial rapist confessed that he alone had committed the crime, leading to their convictions being overturned. Set against a backdrop of a decaying city beset by violence and racial tension, this is the story of that horrific crime, the rush to judgment by the police, a media clamoring for sensational stories and an outraged public, and the five lives upended by this miscarriage of justice.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I watched this documentary last night and i have mixed feelings after watching it. I actually didn't know about this tragic accident until after i watched this documentary. It is very sad and tragic that this occurred but after watching this i feel like Diane's husband is in denial. Of course no one knows except Diane herself why she did what she did but her husband seems very focused on proving her innocence. I can see why he wants to protect his wife's name but it looks like the reality is much different. I think after watching the documentary I personally feel that Diane was drinking and maybe it was to help with her toothache but regardless alcohol was involved. It's definitely confronting towards the end when photos are shown of Diane's dead body at the scene. All in all a quite thought provoking documentary and definitely gives you lots to think about but also still leaves you with unanswered questions about this horrible tragedy.

I've got to say that for the first 35 minutes of this documentary, I wanted to believe Daniel Schuler and Jay Schuler, mainly for the sake of Bryan. I am an aunt of five, and I love them all dearly. I could never hurt those children. So I presumed that Diane must have been misunderstood. I still admire Jay for working so hard. And I commend her honesty. My heart broke for the families of Guy Bastardi, Michael Bastardi, and Daniel Longo. But then I heard about the bottle of Absolute in the vehicle. And I held my breath. I spent the rest of the film puzzled by Diane's behavior. I was truly devastated when I finally accepted what seems to be the truth of the situation. Much respect for Dr. Harold Bursztajn, Steve Fishman, Betsy Spratt, Dr. Werner Spitz, and Dr. Carol Weiss for their expert contributions. And to Liz Garbus, for making such a compelling and powerful documentary. Much love and healing to the entire Hance family as well.

I was both shocked & intrigued by this documentary. For me, the most shocking part of the whole store was that Diane evidently believed that the most appropriate time to crack a open a bottle of vodka and skin up a joint was when she had a car full of kids, two of which were her own.However, the one thing that this documentary fails to accurately portray is just how much alcohol Diana had consumed. The toxicologist merely states that she had 10 drinks in her system plus six grams in her stomach that had yet to enter her blood stream. 0.19 BAC is roughly ten drinks in the US, but one shot of vodka is 0.15 fl.oz, this multiplied by ten is 15 fl.oz. A US pint is 16 fl.oz. Baring in mind the six grams that was still in her stomach. DIANE HAD DRUNK A FULL PINT OF VODKA!!!This combined with the joint she had smoked (all within a couple of hours). Believe me, she was totally oblivious to her situation. I'm amazed she got as far as she did before disaster struck. What a tragedy that she could not wait until she was home.
