I had no idea that this existed, but watched it tonight. I was raised part of my life in S.F. Valley the same time they were in Encino, CA. I was going to school there. I am a person of mixed heritage (Navajo, Scottish, Irish). My family was never into J.C. we were more western, listening to Marty Robbins. I could relate on many levels with what the girls went through. I have been a die hard for Rosanne since she started singing. For me, It was in someways watching my life story, however, my parents didn't love each other. It seems so strange that there were probably so many kids in the valley that were living in very sad households. This is a great documentary about growing up in a sad home. I loved all the old pictures (we have some just like them, 3 girls instead of 4). I was very surprised at how open and honest the girls were. I am sure that they have worked on themselves to be that open. I loved the movie also, however, I just watched it as a movie (Hollywood) not applying it to any famous people. You can't believe what you see and then after I heard that the son made it I understood that it was from his view point. A totally different life then they had. I went to school at a private school in Encino, CA and at the time knew many famous kids and their parents. I respect Vivian and her daughters and how they handled what they had to. It saddened me to hear that June Carter claimed the girls as hers. You can take it as a compliment that she thought so highly of them. I do. I always have known that there was a reason I felt a kinship to Roseann. It was a different time then and I understand that Viv had no one to really reach out to. Great documentary even if you don't know the family at all. Highly recommend !!!!
