This show broke my heart. I was like Reena when I was a child. Being from an Arabic family, and people saw me as weird, or sometimes, not even human. It was hard enough to get bullied by other kids, but some adults were just as bad. I didn't like Rebecca. I thought she was selfish, and only cared about her book. I felt sorry for Warren G., however, he played a huge part in Reena's death. I don't know if I could forgive like Reena's mother. In my faith (Islam), we believe that we have to forgive others because we want God to forgive us. I understand it on an intellectual level, but emotionally, sometimes things are so painful, that it's hard to forgive. Reena's mother is with her daughter now, and may they both rest in peace. Thank you for the review. I'm a new sub.
Ah man I’m so sorry you bullied like that. Extending forgiveness is not easy. I don’t know if I could do what Sumna did. And I didn’t even realize this but Sumna is with Reena now and may they both rest ❤️. This show was incredibly hard on so many levels. Thank you for subscribing 🙏🏽 too!!! What other shows/genres are you into?
@@isaagape Thank you so much for your kindness. There is one person that I still have a hard time forgiving. It was a teacher I had when I was a child. I had a speech impediment, and had trouble pronouncing certain letters, plus I stuttered when I became nervous, scared, or stressed in any way. One day, she made me stand to answer a question in class. I answered, and she said that she couldn't understand me. She made me repeat my answer several times, still claiming that she can't understand. All the other kids were looking at me, some were laughing. The teacher had this vicious smirk on her face as she made me repeat myself over, and over again. I eventually broke down in tears. I felt humiliated, and broken. She didn't like me because I was Arab/Muslim, and she never hid that fact. She was just a vicious, racist, and very ugly excuse for a human being and an educator. Reena's story really got to me, also how Dusty was treated. All people of color, and persecuted for it. Currently, I'm watching "Interview with the Vampire". I highly recommend it. I just finished "Baby Reindeer", I think you'd like it. "Yellowjackets" is a great show, too. I love finding little gems like "Under the Bridge". Stories like those should be told because as people of color, we need for our struggles, and traumas to be recognized, and to have our dignity back. We are often ignored, disbelieved, and generally persecuted for not being white, and for being different. Thank you again!!
Well… I don’t know ur real name otherwise I’d address you as such, there’s healing on the other side. I was physically abused by my teacher when I was really young. I hope you find ❤️🩹 to all of these traumatic experiences. I’m so very sorry you had to go through that! I heard of those shows… just haven’t jumped in. There’s so much content and I do a lot of music writing and marketing too on top of this channel. It’s been a good thing for me to help flesh out stories and continue to fall more in love with it. And with writing a script right now it’s certainly helpful! Hopefully you stick around with shows I’m talking about. 🙏🏽. Thank you for letting me know what you’re watching! Need to ask the channel this. Have a great day
@@isaagape My name is Johanna, and thank you for sharing your experience. I'm a writer, too. I write for a small paper in New York. I will stick around. I really like the way you recapped, and reviewed this story that needed to be told. Thank you so much!
My heart broke over and over and over during this episode. I think I will watch the series again but not now. My heart couldn't take it .The vulnerability & empathy throughout was huge. To think that a cold blooded killer got 5 years because she done well in school is harrowing.. Surely it should be based on the crime itself. To think she's out and has teo kid's is scary. The scene between Reena's Mum and Warren was so powerful & healing for them both. What he done was awful at least he showed remorse and tried to make Amends. Really sad that Rebecca & Cam went their separate ways but the choice of song during their scene said it all. The intimacy and vulnerability between them both was beautiful. I hope this show wins awards
@@isaagape Absolutely, I'd appreciate your thoughts on it. The acting throughout was truly amazing but Lily Gladstone, she acts with every ounce of her heart
Ellard is now forty-one-with two children of her own-and has spent most of her adult life behind bars. Keep reading for everything we know about what happened to her after her conviction. What Was Kelly Ellard’s Sentence? Ellard was initially charged with second-degree murder. She was tried as an adult in 2000 and convicted, but that decision was overturned by the British Columbia Court of Appeals in February 2003. The following year, Ellard had a second trial. That time, the jurors were deadlocked and couldn’t make a decision, leading to a mistrial. Finally, she had her third trial in April 2005 and was sentenced to life in prison. Where Is Kelly Ellard Today? Ellard was granted day parole in 2018-which is a conditional release under Canadian law that offers prisoners the opportunity to reenter society during the day and return to prison or a halfway house at night. Her conditional freedom proved to be difficult, though. In the years since, Ellard has attended numerous disciplinary meetings with her parole board for domestic violence and a positive drug test. CBC News reports that in 2021, she was arrested for behavioral issues. Court documents said she is considered a “high-moderate risk for future violence over the long term and a relatively low risk over the short term.”
