  All I know for fact is what my grandma told me, " they were movie stars" .  Apparently my grandmother was walking home (Alabama) on a long dirt road where Bonnie and Clyde picked her up and let her ride on the runners of their vehicle. My grandma was around 13yo. R.I.P. grandma

  Thank you for telling the real story of Bonnie and Clyde. There was a lot of details you covered that the movies didn't. I don't know why they chose to use fiction, when their story was far more dramatic.

  I can't express how much I enjoyed this. So much detail and one of the best windows into Bonnie and Clyde I've ever come across. I was enthralled throughout the entire video. Thanks for putting in so much research and hard work for us. You're a natural storyteller, by the way.

  This was fantastic; I have read a lot about Bonnie & Clyde and I feel like I learned more from this than anything.  The fact that you have gone back and shown us all these places (and faces) it really makes it come alive.  I will always love the movie.....just because it's a great movie.  But I have always appreciated knowing the REAL story.  Ultimately, it's a tragedy: look at all those people they killed.  The end of your video is the best part, reminding us of that.  Amazing.

  I just recently watched the movie Highway men and then your film of Bonnie and Clyde. Very nice indeed to put the pieces together and telling what actually happened back then. Thank you.

  Bonnie dreamt of becoming a star and (ironically) she did. She became a legend whose memory will outlive most of the movie stars of that era. She'll never get old, decrepit and demented, either. She'll always be young, vivacious and beautiful.

  The Clyde "impotence" crap from the Beatty film was B.S.. Blanch said in a 1968 interview that she could "hear them at night" in the cabins.

  Admittedly, I was skeptical of this documentary about Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker at first, due to so much incorrect and fictional information out there, but about 5-10 minutes in, I was transfixed....I've done lots and lots of research on the lives and times of Bonnie and Clyde, and their so called gang, and I can corroborate and verify that this work is amazing! If one truly wants to dig in and learn a lot about them, past the somewhat fabricated and romanticized popular culture version of events, then sit down and watch and listen to this. The author has definitely put in the hard work and deep digging in this feature! My personal rating is 10/10🙂

  Thank you for sharing this presentation, it is by far the best documentary I have seen on this subject. One of the things I didn't know but found fascinating was that buck escaped from prison and blanche told him to turn himself back in. This is truly incredible.
