A captivated nation watched on live television while rescuers worked around the clock for 58 hours to save her. The tense & dramatic twists in the crisis were a unifying event for Americans as the fears & jubilations of one family where shared by people across the country. Director Mark Bone reveals the even more surprising, frightening, & complicated story of what happened to 'Baby Jessica' during her long wait in that well, & explores the impact of her ordeal on her community & her rescuers, particularly after the cameras left town.

Some people have an opinion about everything. And then there are the 'super reviewers,' people who influence our decisions on everything from what toothbrush to buy, to where to go on vacation. Super reviewers leave hundreds, or even thousands of reviews a year at online websites, sparking feuds & affecting reputations. Though they are complete strangers, their often intimately personal dispatches can seem like the best evidence we have to go on when making decisions…but who are the people behind these reviews? Directors Yu Gu & Arianna LaPenne wade into the subculture of super reviewers who are not only prolific, but are also emotionally invested & addicted to the competitive nature of producing reviews that are themselves rated. The film captures an idiosyncratic group portrait of the lengths people are willing to go to feel like somebody.
