Our take
A Netflix documentary about the 2020 disappearance and death of a three-year-old girl in rural Thailand and the media circus that followed. It covers murder, kidnapping fears, nudity when her body was found, staged sexual-assault claims and corpse tampering. Rated US TV-14 on Netflix; not for children. Fits 16 and up.
