Die Morde von Cheshire (TV Movie 2013)

Die Morde von Cheshire: Directed by Kate Davis, David Heilbroner. With Marilyn Bartoli, Deb Biggins, Michael Daluz, Jeremiah Donovan. A documentary about a brutal home invasion in Cheshire, Connecticut in 2007.

“This documentary explores some compelling subjects around The Cheshire home invasion murders. 1) Police cover-up. The police were outside the residence for a full half hour and took no action until the criminals fled the home. They could have prevented most of the crime. Why? We can only speculate. 2) Death penalty. Death penalty is a controversial subject. One thing thatu0026#39;s stressed in the movie, regardless of whether youu0026#39;re pro- or anti- , is that itu0026#39;s a very lengthy and expensive process. The system is broken. 3) Background of the murderers. We learn about their early lives, their motivations, etc. The conclusions that Iu0026#39;ve made: a history of mental illness and child abuse played a crucial role. They donu0026#39;t justify any of the crimes, but does bring into light the importance of treating mental illness and about the consequences of child abuse.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe also learn, in as much detail as possible, how the entire incident played out. We also learn about the victims and victimsu0026#39; family. This is all through interviews with many people. Itu0026#39;s tragic, emotional, and from a documentary film perspective itu0026#39;s informative, interesting and somewhat impartial.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLast words: People who already know all about the Cheshire murders may not get the interviews and new information they expect. So if thatu0026#39;s you, then maybe this documentary will be a disappointment. Iu0026#39;d never heard of these murders before, so it was all very interesting. There was not a moment in those 2 hours when I felt bored.”
