This family deserves justice. It amazes me how a black child can be killed and so many lies about it can be told. The truth hasn't came to light but it will. Whoever heard of a child being able to roll themselves up tight in a mat and dump themselves upside down while looking for shoes that were already in the mat. Nancy one of the other reviewers you are about as ignorant as they come. This kid could not have killed himself. Talking about his grades and rather or not his parents were married is none of your business and nobody else's. You thought to write a review about his family instead of his tragic death tells a lot about you. This child was murdered period. To think otherwise shows that racism is at its finest in this town and obviously there's a lot that's been covered up. Body parts missing, video tape cut, he had no reason to be rolled up tightly in a mat and from the position of his body it's so evident he couldn't of done that to himself. Sad and pitiful that this is still going on in the USA today.

I have followed this case from the beginning as it caught my attention being rolled in the matt. My father was a wrestling coach and I (even as a white female) know how heavy and impossible to move them on your own. I found it sad that this case got lost in the shuffle of black victims, most of whom this "documentary " showcased more than KJ.

I found myself yelling at the TV, I know about Emitt Till, Eric Garner(who died from fighting with cops, not selling cigarettes as she loves to say over and over.) I wantto know about KJ.

This is sad that this family was duped into thinking these people cared about truth, like so many right now they want to stir racism plain and simple. I don't blame the family, SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THAT CHILD!!!

He didn't and couldn't have squeezed into that matt. His face and body were beaten horribly ( the only thing close to Emitt Till) The missing body parts and video evidence as well as the fact that school was allowed to continue once a dead body was found, have nothing to do with race. Is it possible the "suspects " did this, to me, yes with a lot of help. Does that prove it was racist NO. Kid on a power trip yes, but PLEASE PLEASE STOP BELIEVING EVERY WHITE PERSON WANTS TO KILL A BLACK PERSON!!!!

Mr. And Mrs. Johnson I pray you find someone to help you get the answers you so rightly deserve, but allowing these people to showcase your son was as big a mistake as BLM. These race baiters only know to use people not help them. May your son rest in peace.

This movie isn't a documentary; it is a work of fiction claiming to be fact. It is one-sided, obscures and/or obfuscates facts, and ignores the vast amounts of evidence proving the claims throughout are false- 100%, provably, verifiably false. Right now you, the reader, can access the police reports, court records, autopsy reports, etc. With a simple Google search. You can read a handful of well-written and researched articles that break this case down piece by piece to show that not only are the Bell brothers not guilty of murder but that no murder occurred at all. I can't imagine the pain of losing your son to a tragic accident that he caused himself, but finding someone, anyone, to blame won't bring him back. Tearing another family apart won't heal theirs.

The "newly discovered" piece of evidence they believe proves the murder is not newly discovered, not does it prove that Johnson was killed by Bell the younger. I've had that piece of evidence (an FBI analysis of the school surveillance system) in my possession for years. What is that evidence, you ask? Well, it's a screen grab of Brian and Kendrick passing each other I am crowded hall hours before KJ entered the gym mat and lost his life. There is no indication either boy saw the other- no eye contact, head nod, high-five or wave. Their cincher is two students passing each other in a crowded hallway amongst hundreds of other students on their way to classes in the opposite direction. It proves NOTHING other than that both boys were in school that day.

What does this "documentary" leave out? A hell of a lot. First, Dr. Anderson is the ONLY patholgist that classified this death as murder put of the 4 that reviewed this case. Dr. Anderson has never been asked to testify under oath regarding this case. Curious, is it not, that in the over-a-dozen lawsuits filed by the Johnson's, they never felt the one patholgist that called this murder be asked to testify to that fact? Perhaps he knew this case would fall apart once he was cross-examined. They also don't mention that the older Bell brother was off-campus during the time KJ entered the gym. This is not in dispute, there are cell records, unbiased witnesses, weigh-in records and wrestling meet results that all prove this. Brian was on campus, on video entering a classroom on the other side of the school when KJ entered the old gym.

They claim KJ was an honor student and triple athlete. He was a 17-year old sophomore who had been held back at least one grade. He wasn't participating in any sport at the time of his death because his poor grades and attendance made him ineligible. If your grades are low enough that you cannot even play a sport, you are most certainly NOT an honor roll student. KJ played freshman football and basketball; he played no sports his sophomore year. They pretended to be a wholesome family, but his parents were divorced and living apart at the time of KJ's death, and KJ? He wasn't even living at home; he was living with his grandmother. None of this makes Kendrick's death any less tragic, but it does prove that the Johnsons and the Truth have a rather complicated relationship that diverges more often than not.

There is one place that we know the truth was told-the sworn deposition of Kendrick's mother and father. You can access those too. In them, they admit they have NO EVIDENCE to prove any of their claims. NONE! ZIP! ZILCH! NADA! It's a work of fiction created by grieving parents. And now that work of fiction is being given credence by a "documentary film-maker" who clearly couldn't be bothered to even glance at a shred of evidence that wasn't spoon-fed to him by the Johnsons. Mr. Pollock, is be more than happy to direct you the thousands of pages of documents that show your documentary is demonstrably false.

Ebony Magazine released an article about this case that didn't name the accused (please note, they have never been accused by a single law enforcement agency, only the Johnsons) and ended up settling a defamation suit for $500k. I hope Mr. Pollock is prepared for a similar suit, he's definitely earned it.

Response to Loyalty below: I can back up everything I stated with evidence. Can you say the same? I never said he killed himself (implying suicide),he did make an error in judgement that killed him though. The conclusions I've come to are based upon the existing evidence of this case, not the race of Kendrick. In fact, I would say there is more racism in accusing a family of murder despite zero evidence purely because the "victim" is Black and the "suspects" are white. I would never claim that hate crimes don't happen. They do. It's tragic and wrong and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. I am simply saying that is not what happened in this case. Sometimes an accident is just an accident and the inability to accept that doesn't a crime make.
