This is a very one sided documentary about a woman who is sentenced to a 15 year mandatory prison sentence for dealing drugs. The documentary is made by her family and they want you to believe she doesn't deserve her sentence. However if you read the court reports you will see that she was a drug dealer, she lied to the police, and she was found guily after a trial.
The tragic part of this documentary is that the woman left behind a husband and three little girls who will forever be damaged by not having their mother around. Yes you will feel sorry for the children because none of this was their fault. However their drug dealing mom got the sentence she deserved and now she has to spend the rest of her life making it up to these kids.
The big lesson of this documentary is if you committ a crime in the US you will get locked up!

She Was Not So Innocent
Spend 5 minutes searching the facts on google
Seriously, I watched this movie and the entire time I'm going, "Where are the facts? Why doesn't he explain this? Or this? Or...THIS!?!?!"
Because the facts are really bad. She took payments for drugs, she bought houses/cars/etc in her name to deflect from boyfriend, she made calls and organized for him, she lied to the cops about the location of him getting shot, while other members of their organization got off with money, it goes on....
It took 6 years to come after her because they had to build a case involving the other suspects in question. They didn't show any footage from the trial, or even explain the details of the charges...the trial....anything...
Awful, awful documentary that only pulls at your heartstrings by showing a broken family due to criminal charges.
Amazing and well-done
For anyone saying she was guilty, yes, she knows that and so does her family. What she was guilty of was omission. That should not be punished with 15 years. This is a great independent film showing loyalty, love and devotion, while showing flaws in the US judicial system.
