32 fucking years. Also, fuck you, Will.Erin "Tiny" Blackwell is one of the strongest people shown in any documentary. The survivor of rape, childhood prostitution, drugs, and a neglectful mother is a subject that continued to intrigue me. The movie also does a great job at showing that she isn't perfect as the situations with her children are eye opening. I loved where this movie went with Erin looking at old footage and reminiscing about the past. I felt it could have been shorter for pacing but the fact that this is the end to a satisfying build up, I'll accept it.
