My God, reading these reviews you’d think that pointing out the obvious gender issues involved with a serial killer of WOMEN really is the same as saying “men are bad” for four hours on a loop. Does the slightest recognition of gender inequality just cause such mental spasms? But, please, accept the filmakers’ apologies that the the political climate in which these murders of WOMEN occurred, and the experiences of actual WOMEN who lived through it, and daily had to decide if their trip down the pub was really worth being maimed and killed for, interfered with your documentary viewing pleasure about a man who was “told by God” to kill WOMEN. Truly, I’ve never read a series of comments that so astonishingly proved the exact opposite points they are attempting to make. Well anyway, I very much appreciated the shift in POV in this doc from the usual stories about serial killers. It reframed the story both from the perspective of those most affected by the killer’s attacks, and within a larger cultural framework. It told a layered story that asked questions that resonated.
