What is The Reason, a documentary on Netflix about?
The documentary begins by telling what the crime scene that the police found was like That night, they received a complaint from neighbors saying they heard gunshots in the Ein Kerem neighborhood. When they arrived, they saw a bloodbath, corpses in their respective beds and underneath, sitting on the couch, a very calm 13-year-old boy who told them that someone had tried to break in.
Without believing a single word, the authorities continued to question the boy in disbelief, and he later told them what happened. Apparently, a few days earlier they had watched a family movie that had deeply affected his mind and he felt that someone had forced him to carry out the massacre.
