Our Opinion
Well produced account of this young man’s unfortunate life events, and the investigative reporting that followed. Plenty of interviews with himself, his family members, the “catfish”, and others. Dramatic, bordering melodramatic, it manages to convey how difficult it has been for this young man. Football fans and the general audience alike will find it relatively engaging and intriguing.
