Dead in the Water (2024) User Reviews

Exceptionally well made documentary

[timoc500 · 8/10 · 3 March 2024]

Gut-wrenching at times, a very powerful documentary that draws out an unimaginably tragic story, as told by those who lived it and those left behind.

I was greatly impacted by the perseverance of a young son trying to shine a light on the brutal actions of his father on 2 strangers. Vince managed to stand for righteousness despite the influence of his morally bankrupt father, grandmother and grandfather.

The grace and dignity of Chris' mother was especially impactful and I'm grateful to her for sharing such a horrifically painful story with us. A very inspiring woman - I hope that joy returns to her life.

Makes you Grateful

This documentary is so unique and powerful. You really get a sense of how a terrible event can impact so many people. The pain that Vincent Boston, son of the murderer, has carried for years is very evident throughout the series. The documentary allows room for the viewer to feel gut wrenching sympathy for all of those affected, including the victims and their family, and also Vince and Russel Boston.

It is a great miscarriage of justice, and the resilience of Peta and Chris' family members is both admirable and exceptional. No one deserves to go through that, and I don't think anyone knows what it could possibly feel like unless you experience it. Chris' mother, Audrey Farmer (aged 99 as of 2024), is such a strong and wonderful woman. The thought provoking documentary leaves you with a sense of feeling grateful for the good things in our lives, and a few tears will undoubtedly be shed.
