Absolutely the worst movie.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Though the abduction of ANYone is sad, the US has been overcome in he past 2-3 decades with paranoia, and conspiracy lunatics - almost all uneducated, and it's a rife situation for a documentary like this.In the late 80's, a teenager named John Gosch was kidnapped. To this day, it's unsolved.This leads the door warped open for everyone - people who think the 'global elitists', and the 'devil worshiping' took him. And on, and on.Just looking at parts of some of these 'reviews', shows which the people who loved his, have limited mental capacities, themselves; 'adejesus614' says it 'shades the light'. Sorry, it's 'SHEDS' light. (Oh, yes, as you can see from this person's nickname, they're a typical right wing, religious wacko).No, there's no 'secret cabal', and it's certainly got nothing to do, with some backwater, like Des Moines, Iowa (folks, wake up, and get some schooling!). More than likely, the young man met a terrible fate, by some sick person. End of story. No, he's not hanging with Elvis, nor any reptilian aliens'.But, these people have their brains so, so screwed up, I'm to sure which is worse; the simple truth of this kid, or the BIGGER story; the IQ of a country the size of the US, IS RAPIDLY sinking. And with it, the rise of deluded thinking.

I lived in DesMoines at the time Johnny Gosch and Eugene Martin were abducted. I worked in close association with the local media at the time. When viewed today, it seems impossible for anyone to understand how dismissive the authorities and the public could be in regard to child exploitation. This film is a very true portrayal of the injustice that was done to Johnny and all missing children and how Maureen was vilified for speaking out about it on behalf of her son. This is an amazing story of how John Walsh and Noreen Gosch were strong enough and dedicated enough to turn a horrific personal tragedy into a crusade to protect all children so we as humans will finally put a stop to child sexual abuse and human trafficking.

I have been reading about this case heavily since I retired several years back along with two others closer to my home. The reason they seem hard to believe is they seem to incredible to be true.They say knowledge is power. This documentary brings together years of information from Noreen Gosch and others and presents it in a digestible, yet, scary format. Human trafficking has been going on we have been doing see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil. That does not work anymore. Whether or not you have children this is a documentary that will give a baptism into the world of Noreen Gosch and the outright defiance she faced in getting even the slightest bit of help for her son. Yet, she persevered so other did not have to suffer her boy's fate. I highly recommend watching this documentary, it is eye opening and inspirational.

'Who Took Johnny?' Reveals how cases of missing children were handle 30 years ago. This film shades all its light on the disappearance of Johnny Gosch from Des Monies, Iowa. A 12 year-old paperboy, who disappears without a trace, yet was written off as a runaway. The case of Johnny Gosch is shrouded by the darkest side of humanity as it leads to a hidden world where children are targeted A world dragged into the light by the strength, love, and sacrifice of a mother who never stopped fighting for answers. It should be required for the world to watch. I watch it. My heart is still trembling over how this case was handled.
