About
You’ll likely be drawn in if you want an intense, real-world courtroom story about misinformation and its human cost, in the vein of Leaving Neverland; Not for you if you want a neutral debate or lighter viewing.
Pros: gripping courtroom access; emotional firsthand accounts; timely misinformation warning | Cons: limited broader context; legal steps can confuse; feels one-sided to some
