It's not just "inspired by" it'sa direct homage. I watched the documentary "Cropsey" a while back, which discusses Willowbrook (the institution Rivera did the story on). The doc included scenes from the report. I'd swear they are doing some shot-for-shot recreations there. The even used the same font for the opening…

Amen. The Shadow is what I listen to while I'm cooking dinner. Way better than a TV in the kitchen, since you can be entertained by a story and still keep your eyes on your food prep!
