First of all, the main narrator is one of Patty's kidnappers whose version of events we're apparently supposed to believe as if he's not a sociopathic criminal. He paints the SLA as a well-meaning, noble, and altruistic group of revolutionaries who were essentially fighting for world peace and "the little guy." Never mind the fact that they murdered, robbed, bombed kidnapped... they didn't mean it. They had to do it because the FBI and LAPD made them. If Harris is to be believed, the members of the SLA are the real victims in this story.

Toobin, the author whose book this documentary is based on, arrogantly speculates about the entire ordeal with an obvious bias against Patty. There is very little consideration for Patty's mental state or legitimacy given to Stockholm Syndrome. I would have loved to hear actual psychologists weigh in instead of two biased men who both have something to gain by convincing the public their version of patty's story is true.
