The new NBC Johnny Depp v Amber Heard documentary used several clips of minors at the trial without their/their guardian's permission. Documentaries are required by law to have everyone featured sign consent forms. No one from NBC was at the trial doing this. This shit is illegal

I wonder if any of the people whose Tiktoks they used are cringing super hard now that they're forever memorialized in a documentary. Same for the Depp fan interviewed outside. You were actually enjoying yourself. So embarrassing. #IBelieveAmberHeard https://t.co/t1BoGXxHlk

An engrossing, wax and wane plot for a movie. A documentary of the court trial according to reports, is set to release. The 30- minute long documentary as reports suggest, the documentary will feature interviews with Amber Heard’s attorney Elaine Bredehoft, National Coalition Against Domestic Violence CEO Ruth Glenn, American University law professor and gender violence expert Jamie Abrams, NBC News senior breaking news reporter Doha Madani, NBC News tech and culture reporter Kat Tenbarge, and People Magazine’s Nigel Smith, among others.
Is there a need for the documentary?
The arguments over the release of the aforementioned document are aplenty. While few fans anticipate its confirmation and release, others see it as “unnecessary”.
According to reports, the documentary is aimed at “Exploring why the trial overwhelmed social media, specifically TikTok, and what viewers missed if social media coverage was their only news source. In the wake of a verdict that surprised legal experts, it examines how the trial evolved into a TikTok trial and what the verdict means for future domestic abuse cases.”
