This doc proves not only how powerful love and perseverance is but that no matter someone's education, experience, or status, they are not exempt from incompetence.

German true-crime documentary with a journalist's personal connection to the case. The obsessive investigation as subject is more compelling than the crime itself. Four episodes of restrained, evidence-led storytelling.

I personally liked "Dig Deeper: The Disappearance of Birgit Meier" unexpectedly. I went into the documentary expecting that it would be nothing more than a simple murder documentary in which everything would probably be relatively standard, but the documentary actually tells an interesting story and is also unusually well directed. Sadly the story also let's you question yourself what was wrong with the police at the time and why did they do their job this awful. The Interviews with her family and friends are almost heartbreaking, because you can her the frustration and sadness in their voices.
