I was in the courtroom as well and I saw Andrew. I noticed his badge said “Netflix” on it and I’m curious if that’s an indication that there are plans for you to do a follow-up on this with him involved or maybe a second part to the doc?: I will defer to Sarah after this, but my main answer is that I will be involved in this story for the rest of my life. It’s something that I care deeply about. I feel that way about most of my documentaries and the subjects we tackle.
Vivian Thoreen repeatedly said that Britney Spears wasn’t cross-examined in either of the testimonies she gave. Aside from hiring Mathew Rosengart, her testimonies were the most significant turning points in this case. What is your response to the subject of cross-examination?: Sarah used the operative word, which is gaslighting. We live in a system where someone can speak to the court in 2019 and say, “This is what’s happening in my life.
: If I’m speaking super honestly, that’s why the questions around exploitation have been really confusing to me and Sarah as filmmakers because we made a conscious choice not to re-victimize her by using those images. I hope people feel the empathy when they see the film. It’s important to see the cameras in that night because it’s one of the most consequential nights of this whole saga. But you’re not going to see her inside that ambulance in our film, you’re just not.
