WEEK 2: A DOCUMENTARY
 
Review: In the year 2015, the lifeless body of Deedee Blanchard was found. She was lying on her bed in a pool of blood and had presumably been dead for several days. There was no trace of Gypsy Rose, her sick daughter. She was later linked to her mother’s death. During the police investigation, it became clear that terrible things were going on inside the walls of the mother and daughter’s home.

Gyspy Rose has always been in and out of the hospital. She doesn’t know any better. But it turns out that she was never sick at all and her mother Deedee kept her sick, by giving her medication she didn’t need and letting her undergo unnecessary operations. Munchausen by Proxy is what Deedee suffers from, and a severe form of it.

It’s a pretty disturbing documentary, hard to understand how someone can do such a thing to child. The documentary itself was pretty straight-forward, the topic was interesting, devastating, shocking and disturbing.

Rating: 3/ 5
