OMG - First off, thank you for your recommendation. I just finished watching this on Amazon Prime. What an emotionally gripping true story. I was sobbing within the first half-hour and probably didn't stop until the end, Kevin Bacon was incredible. Both he, and the movie, deserved all the awards:
Bacon received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Miniseries or Television Film and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Miniseries or Television Movie. The film received ten nominations for the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards, winning the Emmy for "Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Miniseries or Movie".
This is a movie that will stay with me for a long time.
