Best Parts
The movie shows how quickly a Facebook invite can go viral and how people cane come together for a bigger event. It shows the panic for the people who wanted a simple party and how things spiralled out of control. The chaos created shows how easily people aren’t prepared for anything of this scale. We get clear signs from the victims of the event and the people who made it the bigger crazier event.
Worst Parts
This shows the selfish action of people who are happy to ruin people’s lives. Alongside the naïve nature of a mayor out of touch with the people. Elsewhere, it is too short of a documentary and doesn’t explore enough of the consequences of the actions.
