quote:

From 1997 to 2006, serial killer Ronald Dominique raped and killed twenty-three men in poverty- stricken Southeastern Louisiana. Difficulties in apprehending Dominique ranged from the underfunding of law enforcement to a lack of family advocacy for the victims, to the general distraction by other catastrophes such as Hurricane Katrina. Bayou Blue meditates on the decay of a community. It is a portrait of one American region's descent into darkness.


Ran across this on prime recently and thought it was pretty interesting. Searched and didn't see any discussion of in on here. Has anyone else on here seen this? Thoughts?
What shocked me is that even though I lived out of state while all of this was happening, how have I never even heard about it? You would think a serial killer with 23 victims would have at least made national news.

It is interesting. But you didn't put what it was in the op. Which I hate.

Copy this into your op:

So I watched this with the lady friend yesterday. It was a slow, but interesting, documentary. And the ending was very abrupt. It wasn't that well made or anything, but I guess I had interest because I'm from Thibodaux and all this crap happened around my old stomping grounds.

There were some special folks in this, though. And goodness, the victims.
