Product Information

Matt Goldberg of Collider gave it a very positive review, writing: "The emotional impact of When They See Us cannot be understated." He said further, "I watched The Central Park Five earlier this month, and it's a good way to understand the case and its basic facts, but even though [it] has interviews with all five men, it doesn't come close to what DuVernay does here with this cast, her craftsmanship, and Bradford Young's stunning cinematography." [22] Lucy Mangan from The Guardian complimented the miniseries, saying it is Each of the women has problems of her own. Angel, a lesbian recovering from a bad break-up, has to fend off sexual harassment from her employer’s son. The mystery angle itself is also probably the least important part of the book (in some ways) so if you're eager to play detective, I'd look elsewhere. Not saying you can't put your detective cap on and have a go at it but the perp is a bit predictable and even the eventual discovery isn't really the meat and potatoes of this story. The title alone is honestly enough to give you a sense of the overarching theme of this one, however, so in some ways I didn't feel like I needed to actually READ the book to 'get the point'.

Donita's friend, Flordeliza is accused of murdering her employer after being found to have tried to steal. Donita knows Flor didn't do it because, at the time of the killing, Donita saw Flor out and about. But Flor apparently isn't talking, though by all indications, even if she tried, she wouldn't be listened to or believed. Donita takes up the cause and embarks on finding out the truth, with Angel and even reluctant Cora along the trail. This is a very good thread to the story and the situation set up according to the author, was inspired by a real case which culminated in the execution of the accused and convicted domestic. The author had lived in Singapore when the case happened but later moved to the Philippines and there got a whole different view of the story. Beyond the murder, this story gives a searing look at power and wealth. How power can be wielded, wrested and won. How wealth can insulate and shield but also its limits. I didn't want to put this down and when I had to, I thought about it. This book will definitely find it's audience because the author has a solid reputation in the commercial market. I just wanted better writing with more developed motivations.Hill, Libby (September 14, 2019). "Complete Creative Arts Emmy Awards 2019 Winners List: 'Game of Thrones' Torches Competitors".

Mélanie Laurent as Alma Dray, a French Interpol agent who is partnered up with Dylan to investigate the Four Horsemen. The premise of blowing the doors off the mistreatment of Filipino maids employed by exploitative Singaporean Ma'ams is very appealing. On it's own, it might have made for some in-depth observations, perhaps a further exploration of how this particular migration pattern evolved, the culture of emigration from the Philippines into service across the globe. Instead the author threw issue after issue into the mix, which muddied the message and reeked of desperation to elicit a negative reaction to all things Singaporean. The plight of the domestic workers was crystal clear within the first three or four chapters, but she continued to hit us over the head with it again and again and again. As well as uncovering previously unidentified need, the pilot showed how gaining an understanding of the SEMH needs across the whole-school population empowered teachers and schools to do something about it. Teachers who took part in the study reported that not only did their understanding of the children’s underlying needs that caused difficult behaviour improved, but they were able to adapt their practice to better support children’s needs within the class. If support was put in place following assessment, there was a 23% increase in the number of pupils who had no apparent SEMH needs after just five months.
