This week on Should I Watch That?, Rachel and Janet tackle one of the most infamous true-crime cases in American history through the lens of the documentary Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart.

We take you back to June 2002, when 14-year-old Elizabeth was taken from her bedroom in the middle of the night. We break down the deeply disturbing actions of her captors, Brian David Mitchell and Wanda Barzee, the agonizing missteps made by law enforcement, and the sheer will it took for Elizabeth to survive nine months in the wilderness under extreme manipulation.

Ultimately, this is a story of incredible survival. We discuss Elizabeth’s enduring strength, her grace, and her vital advocacy work today with the Elizabeth Smart Foundation. Listen in to hear our thoughts on the documentary, how it handles the subject matter, and whether it's a must-watch.
