Here's a story of a protected individual absolutely devastating another man's life. The show does not treat her/him as the evil person they are. It's pretty obvious that protected group had a lot of say in the making of this film. Otherwise I'm happy they let Manti share his side. This was similar to the Duke lacrosse incident both were victims portrayed as villains and the original headlines were all that stuck.

They showed the catfish in too positive of light.
One of the worst, most abrupt endings to an otherwise excellent documentary.
Manti Teo's story was was excellent, but the directors didn't put the wrapping paper on an otherwise excellent documentary.
1) Naya is not held accountable whatsoever. She has no remorse and the producers never pressured her to see if she understood the gravity of the situation or what she did. A huge miss. She gets off easy.
2) The media is let off easy as well. They ruined this guys life, take none of the blame for not fact checking anything and get off scot free.
3) Where the hell is the video package at the end showing Manti Teo having some success in the NFL or talking about how he's married with a child. It just ends with him crying and cutting to an ad. Absurd!
Oh what a twisted web we weave ,,,,,,
Manti Te'o is incredible. Who could have kept playing any game at the levels he did while going through such a living nightmare?
As far as the catfish goes, I am flabbergasted at the complete and total lack of ownership of the mass of damage they visited on Manti and his entire family.
They were certainly pleased at what they learned from it! Zero, ZERO empathy for anyone else. I think that's one of the big signs of a sociopath.
Manti was gracious throughout the entire ordeal and I cannot imagine what he was feeling in his guts. But what a cool exterior, that man has.
This document is a warning to everyone else. It's certainly a warning to watch out for that specific person!!
