> In a way, this documentary was probably _going to_ be about exploring the factual matters and whether or not she knew she was actually guilty or had some level of remorse.
I don't think it was ever going to be about that. Nathan isn't a journalist and his interests as a storyteller generally aren't about The Truth in a journalist sense, but about how we tell stories, especially about ourselves.
The fact the appearance/likeness contract matter doesn't even show up until the second half of the film also doesn't make it feel like the film is about that. That's just a subplot in the larger stories.
