Dave Navarro is a trauma survivor of the highest order. When Dave was only 15 years old his mother was brutally murdered by her estranged ex-boyfriend. For 8 long years Dave's mother's killer eluded capture while Dave dealt with his deepest, darkest fears through drugs, art and escapism. In a heartbreaking, inspirational journey, Dave confronts the events that changed his life forever. Through revelations from friends and family, to the cold hard facts from police and FBI agents, Dave attempts to come to terms with his mother's senseless murder and the horrific realities of domestic violence.

This movie was so sad. I felt so bad for him. It was hard to see him go through all that pain. It was really brave for him to make this and talk about it all. It must have been hard and even harder to visit the man in jail. A man who stalked and murdered his family and scared the entire neighborhood. His name wasn't even Dean. It was John. This man was so horrible. Even with the locks changed he broke into their house. I don't understand why they would of had Dave's dad in handcuffs though when they already knew who had done it. John was free for eight years and they had to bring in the FBI and America's Most Wanted just to find him. I find it even braver that Dave Navarro has done domestic violence commercials and has talked about it. If I was in his situation I don't think I would have been able to do what he did. It would seem to painful to go back to it all. I just wanted to give him a big hug. The movie was good but really sad. There were even a few parts where I cried. I like that Dave's cousins and friends looked out for him and tried to help him through the pain. I can't even believe that he had the guts to testify against the man who killed his mother. I'm just glad the Jury gave a fair verdict and put the man on Death Row. John didn't even care that he did it. I'm also sure he lied about some things in his trial. No one should have gone through this.
