This show was a great find for me in Australia! Based on a true story, I found the whole story to be extremely frustrating, angering and sad. I feel so much for the poor family of Elisa. Her brother and family never gave up which is admirable.

This was very well acted, especially by the actor playing Gildo. I read about the real story and it seems very accurate. It's one of those true crime shows that hasn't changed things to be super entertaining or dramatic - it just was dramatic in real life. I was left in tears. I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys this genre. 6 episodes was the perfect amount too, I was never bored.

This series, Per Elisa (For Elisa), is a well made docudrama on the sad case of missing Italian teenager Elisa Claps. The details are accurate to the original, and was made with the consent of Elisa's family. The 6 episodes cover the circumstances around her disappearance, followed by the long struggle by family, in particular her eldest brother Guido, to get action from authorities into finding what really happened to Elisa. If you don't know the full story, I won't spoil it for you, but suffice to say that despite having a viable suspect from day 1, Elisa's family were repeatedly put off and let down by the apathy and incompetence of law enforcement, plus the legal and financial resources of the suspect's powerful family. This is a powerful story about a grieving family's struggle for justice, and how they never gave up, even in the face of insurmountable odds. Truly heartbreaking...
