Can we talk of the 1000 plot holes in this documentary?
This documentary could have been great, instead it just goes nowhere for 1h30 min and then tries to "drop a bomb" on the audience. But instead of the twist ending I'm more interested in knowing the following:
-what happened to the NY guy and what exactly was his beef with the pastor, and I'm not talking about the "he kicked me out to house a sex offender" which makes zero sense. The director should have put forward the pastor's version and then at some point put a conclusion for this NY guy: did he find a job? Did he leave? etc
-what happened to the sex offender he took in - what happened after their fight - now on some other thread it was revealed that he lied about his sex offense, not really complicated to find out, why was this not put forth in the documentary?
-what happened to the guy who was a caretaker for the program and who ditches the RV? Why did he say to the pastor he didn't like how he lived? Did he know?
-there were 2 young guys the director followed on and off that I constantly got mixed up because they looked so similar - the story then just drops them also like a wet sock
etc...the list goes on and on
Writing this I realize that I am now agreeing with the people who felt that the documentary became this great excuse to have "a plot twist". Though is was sold as a documentary about a new gold rush it actually is about 1 man and his downfall and everything else is just anecdotal to the director. And that's where I beg to differ - the story wasn't with the pastor but with all the others.
Reading here and there Q&As the director left A LOT out, because it didn't serve his narrative or because he didn't have permission to film, but that's what black narrative cards are for...
So yeah very disappointing in the end, just raised a lot of questions and zero answers except to the one question that no one actually asked or cared about...
