Ryan White's documentary focuses on reclaiming personal autonomy. By using personal archives and diaries, the film shifts the focus from sensational scandals to a nuanced exploration of systemic exploitation and personal ability to act. The film's main strength lies in its ability to empower the protagonist to take control of her own narrative rather than being a passive subject of the media's scrutiny. While the film centers on a specific character study with limited narratives about race or disability, it effectively analyzes how gendered expectations and media power dynamics shape identity.
