A connection between Jose Menendez and Edgardo Díaz gives a new dimension to the Menendez brothers' case. Roy Rosselló gets the opportunity to tell his story as a member of the famous boy band Menudo and to find new witnesses in his crusade for justice. In-depth interviews from people close to both cases raise questions about child sexual abuse that extends for 30 years with no action or investigation from the authorities. As Roy seeks to change that, he is willing to go where needed to find voices who support him.

Menendez + Menudo works best as a damning brief against Díaz and a culture of complicity. Go to Full Review
Nick Schager The Daily Beast 05/01/2023
"Menendez + Menudo: Boys Betrayed" plays a somewhat rigged game, and yet it does intriguingly suggest that Lyle and Erik’s abuse accusations would have been treated far differently today. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 05/03/2023
Stretching out the story blunts the message, and it there’s any story that shouldn’t be blunted, it’s this one; there’s no reason to think that Rosselló is lying, which is why the impact should be greater than it is. Go to Full Review
