First of all the sheriff's dept. and other politicians in that area have been getting paid off for decades. Second off this documentary is half BS in the fact that 99% of those "Missing people" aren't actually missing they're just trimming in the woods. I've been there and worked out there, it's not as bad as this doc. makes it seem. The thing is most of the growers up there don't let their trimmers leave. You can't call anyone to tell them where you are, you can't leave. The growers send people to town to get food and supplies and when the job is done you get paid and go home or wherever you want. A lot of the kids that go trim make so much money they don't want to go home, they go on vacation or off the grid totally. Yeah there's been a few "incidents" but you can't let a few bad apples spoil the bunch. Someone said the girl from France that came to trim was weird. Not really. Humboldt is world famous for it's underground marijuana cultivation culture. People flock to that region EVERY FALL for trimming season it's ridiculous. I saw people on the side of the 101 with signs or giant trimming scissors saying "Looking for trim work" and that's literally how people get their trim jobs. Growers used to meet up at a bar in Arcata, CA to find most of their trimmers and make deal arrangements, until last year when they shut it down.
I'm not going to say anymore I don't want a target on my head but that Documentary IS interesting, however you need to filter out the BS.
