Review: The Keepers
The latest real-life crime documentary to hit Netflix entitled The Keepers is somewhat reminiscent of the viral sensation Making a Murderer. Focusing on the murder of Sister Cathy back in 1969, the documentary-style, 7-part series delves deeper into the unsolved case, throwing up all sorts of questions and issues surrounding the investigation both back in the 70s and today. It really is a must-watch.
To give some context, Sister Cathy was a nun working as a teacher in a Catholic school who went missing for almost two months before her body was found near a garbage dump in early 1970. The murderer is still yet to be found but Cathy’s inspirational and caring teaching style has provoked two of her ex-pupils to dedicate their lives to finding out the truth.
The series focuses on their detective journey, the evidence they have (and lack) as well as the conspiracy they are sure they will uncover that surrounds the case. As a word of warning, it’s not for the faint-hearted; some of the priest-related stories from certain girls that attended the school are very tough to stomach and the anger and hatred that will come over you as a viewer is sometimes difficult to control. Despite the hard-hitting nature of the series, it’s well worth a watch; it’s phenomenally exciting, frustrating, immensely sad, and the sheer rage that both the story and the nature of the investigation will provoke makes it very similar to the aforementioned Making a Murderer.
Without telling too much more (to avoid ruining the series), let us just say that this is a must-see. Again, please watch in the knowledge that the sickening tales will pry on your mind for days and, at times, it’s really not easy to watch.
