Film Reviews:
"Megan Is Missing" is a powerful, important film that deserves both attention and discussion. It should serve as a wake-up call for parents everywhere.”
-Marc Klaas, KlaasKids Foundation
"Extremely well directed and acted. So frighteningly realistic it made me want to go home and hug my children. Some images and scenes were so intense they will stay with you and haunt your dreams."
-Harry Basil, director
"Megan is Missing” is perhaps the most powerful, thought-provoking film ever to address this disturbing issue. Approach it with an open mind, but do so cautiously. You're certain to be changed by it well before the lights come up."
-Richard P. Crudo, ASC
"Achieves a degree of intimacy and verisimilitude that even documentary filmmakers might envy. The unblinking eye the film turns toward terrible deeds feels especially pitiless."
