ilovemoovies This should have been about an hour. What this film comes down to is one more test to see if Diane was drunk or not when she fatally killed 8 people with her van.There is many victims of this car accident. Diane's husband is also a victim. His wife died as well as daughters. He is now a single father. He believes his wife's autopsy report was wrong. The report says her blood alcohol was .19. You are legally drunk .08 and above!Now my opinion about this woman was that since her husband and herself worked opposite shifts he did not know she was heavy drinker. To this day I am sure he doesn't think she was but trust me .19 meant she was most likely not a "Casual Drinker". With that being said I do feel bad for him. We learn in this documentary that he is still struggling with loss. WE also see he is now a victim of internet bullying. People should leave him alone. This is worth watching however this entire would have been more effective if they had edited it down. Many of the same things get repeated by the same people.

mhubbard-54657 This tragedy only happened a few years ago, so I remember it well. It was quickly revealed that "Diane" was drunk and high behind the wheel when the horrible wrong way crash occurred. End of story, very sad, but no mystery involved. However, her family had much difficulty accepting that and this documentary shows us why in some detail. Diane was a high functioning wife, mother and employee. She was meticulous, even a perfectionist at times. She had some psychological baggage, but doesn't everyone? The mystery that remains is why she choose to use in such a manner on that day as to be totally incapable of operating a vehicle. It wasn't like her, it was very out of character. Her family repeatedly sought some other explanation, possible a medical problem, grasping at straws.Overall, interesting but very unsettling. It makes you ponder and question if there are parts of ourselves and our most intimate loved ones that we do not know or understand.

Vanessa Haynes Exploitative and pointlessThis movie is about a tragedy, a tragedy with NO answers, except selfish, disgusting behavior. That makes this movie pointless and exploitative to the family members left behind. Not surprisingly, the parents of the victims didn't't want to have anything to do with the filmmakers! They chose NOT to relive the worst days of their lives, for NOTHING!Diane's family uses these few hours to justify away her crimes. When medical evidence doesn't support their justifications, they come up with new ones. Someone needs to do an intervention on these people. Sometimes drugs and alcohol makes people do horrible things- deal with it! I also find this documentary exploitative to the first responders. This horrific scene profoundly affected those who helped immediately in the aftermath, both professional, and good samaritan alike. I think making good people relive this tragedy for nothing is disgusting. I love documentaries, but this is just TERRIBLE! I can't say more without including spoilers, but trust me, don't ruin your day for nothing.

Patmarie Be warned! This movie stuck with me for nearly a week. After it ended I was kind of in shock for the rest of the day. Many may have experienced a similar feeling after seeing Schindler's List, but even that movie contained more hope than this.This is one of the highest quality documentaries I've seen. Very well done. The suspense builds throughout as husband and sister-in-law battle to prove that Diane was not under the influence; that an autopsy stating the contrary had to be a mistake. The film never states this one way or the other, but by the end you will know. It doesn't even come close to preaching on this subject, but makes the point in an extremely powerful, yet subtle way.We first hear about the victims, and the accident, see and hear bits of the funerals. Then we hear the coroner's statement, and think, 'Oh, no, this couldn't be true.', and identify with the denial of Diane's family.Towards the end, we see that Daniel, the widower, seems cold and immature. He does not seem very warm to his young son, the only survivor. I could imagine feeling something like 'My God, you are all I have left, I'm lucky to have you, I love you.' But he says, 'I never even wanted to have kids, and now I'm stuck with this, I'm a single parent.' Okay... There's a heartbreaking scene where the two are walking and Bryan tries to hold his Dad's hand, Dad responds a little and Bryan ultimately gives up. I'm glad Bryan was finally able to at least get therapy.To me the true hero of the story is Jay, the sister-in-law. You can see that she really cares for all of her family involved, and especially for Bryan. She is probably the best person in his life.Driving is an awesome responsibility, and anytime we drive our own or someone else's child, it is even more so. Many of us spend our days shuffling kids here and there, this really makes you pause and think. And...the idea of having anything in your system, even with the excuse of trying to dull the pain of a severe toothache, there is just no way that anyone should even consider getting behind the wheel in that state, let alone consuming more as one is driving.Part of Diane's problem seemed to be that no one could ever tell her what to do or not do. So, she refused to get her teeth cared for as she should have, and when she then had severe pain, treated it her own way, a choice that led to the deaths of eight people, including four young children, causing horrible grief for all the families involved.
