"Kidnapped:
Elizabeth Smart" (2026) is a documentary directed by Benedict Sanderson.
It tells the true story of the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart, a 14-year-old
girl who was abducted from her bedroom in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2002.
The
documentary features exclusive interviews with Elizabeth herself, her family,
and investigators, as well as previously unseen archives.
The
documentary not only reveals the chronology of the kidnapping but also the
psychological and emotional impact on Elizabeth and her family. Elizabeth was
kidnapped by Brian David Mitchell (a.k.a Emmanuel) and Wanda Barzee (a.k.a
Hepzibah), who abused and raped her for 9 months. The documentary also
highlights the community and family's struggle to uncover the truth.
Critics' reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with a 91-minute runtime, deeming it one of the best true crime documentaries on Netflix.
In my opinion:
I'm truly
stunned by this documentary. I can't believe a crime like this happened, where
the victim was abducted from her own bedroom. The documentary is presented
excellently, with a clear narrative from start to finish.
It covers the
initial abduction, the search, suspicions about family members, theories, and
ultimately, the revelation of the perpetrator's identity. This is a horrifying
crime, not because it's brutal, but because of how dangerous someone can be
when consumed by their convictions.
The
documentary showcases the extraordinary efforts of the Salt Lake City police in
solving Elizabeth's case, despite having only one eyewitness, her sister Mary
Katherine. We're taken on a traumatic journey, experiencing the struggle of a
14-year-old girl fighting to survive.
This
documentary teaches us to never give up, no matter the situation. With great
visuals and music, it's one of the best works of the year.
