Untold: The Shooting at Hawthorne Hill

The family asked for a screener. Netflix said no.

Jonathan Kanarek told NJ.com his daughter had not even seen Untold: The Shooting at Hawthorne Hill when it landed on 21 April 2026. The family asked Netflix and Propagate for an advance copy so Lauren Kanarek could manage her anxiety. They were turned down. He said the 73-minute film spent more time with Michael Barisone than with Lauren, who sat for about two days of interviews. latestnetflix.com's read is that "Netflix thinks it's more valuable to try and say this, you know, young girl drove this famous man crazy than to tell the truth about it, which they fully know."

Steven Beer, the family lawyer, called it a "classic and regrettable true crime documentary." He said women who have been victimized should not be fodder for true crime commerce. A publicist said Lauren was paid an unspecified amount. Barisone's fiancee Lara Osborne wrote on a GoFundMe that they did not ask for or receive a dime, despite "wild claims" of six-figure interview fees. The fundraiser had passed $85,000. Patch printed her update that they still had battles to fight.,

Two shots, then an insanity verdict.

On 7 August 2019 at Hawthorne Hill in Long Valley, New Jersey, Barisone shot Kanarek twice in the chest and tried to shoot Rob Goodwin. She was 39. He was 54. CBS's 48 Hours reported she started training there in March 2018 and paid $5,000 a month to board horses and live in a farmhouse on the property. On 25 July 2019 she posted, "It's about time to possibly go to war. Anyone who repeatedly kicks a resting beast will eventually wake her up!" Barisone denied her Facebook labels of racist, homophobic, and antisemitic. Police had been called to the farm in the days before.,

AP reported the 2022 Morris County jury found him not guilty by reason of insanity on the attempted murder of Kanarek, not guilty on Goodwin, and acquitted on weapons counts after about 18 hours. Doctors said he suffered delusions and paranoia. He did not testify. Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll said he was disappointed but the verdict must be respected. Barisone went to Ann Klein Forensic Center in Trenton, then Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital, and was released in 2023. Kanarek was shot in the chest, placed in a medically induced coma, and had surgery on her left lung. She recovered.,

Both of them sat down.

That is the booking. Grace McNally directed. TMDB lists 1 hour 13 minutes and a U.S. Date of 21 April 2026. Netflix title 81582389. Tudum listed it as the fourth weekly Untold film that spring, after Lamar Odom on 31 March, Chess Mates, and Jail Blazers. Chapman Way and Maclain Way developed the series. Propagate and Stardust Frames produce. Ryan Duffy is showrunner. Both Barisone and Kanarek appear, not in the same room. Jonathan Kanarek, Goodwin, Osborne, Derek Heymer, Ed Bilinkas, and Chris Deininger are billed. A closing card said both sides handed over documents the cut did not use.,,,

The official trailer opens on her 911 call. "I've been shot in the heart!" An officer says he finds it hard to believe you could shoot somebody and not remember. Decider's Scott Hines heard Barisone complaining about Facebook posts and a horse she rode, then skipped the film. He wrote that the sniping can bury the fact that this is a documentary about an attempted murder. The family is still arguing the cut. The streamer left it up.,
