“The documentary contained many inaccuracies, incorrect juxtapositions of timelines, and misstatements and omissions of fact — perhaps deliberate to capture their ‘truth’, perhaps due to simple error,” the statement continued.

And just starting to attack me today. I’ve been non contact with my parents for almost two years. Have fun.”
