The Netflix documentary will start streaming on August 16. Moreover, from the trailer, we can see the experts have re-examined the case unbiasedly. As one said, “Depp was the one who wanted the cameras in the courtroom, she didn’t.I would argue it’s a PR campaign disguised as a defamation case.”
Later on, another added, “This has moved away from a news story or a lawsuit and has transformed into a cultural moment.”
Moreover, the doc also referred to the case as the “first Trial by TikTok” because of its enormous popularity online. It also investigates how public opinion played an important role in the case and “questions the nature of truth and the role it plays in our modern society.
The trailer ended by saying, “And that leads us to the real question. What is the actual truth?”
