I've just watch this movie. I was rather shocked that such a documentary could be made so one sided. It is literally based on the opinions of two people that blame others for their own actions and failures. From what I have read about Sheela, she was more "fifteen lives for one ours" than the innocent victim and gentle sole reflected by the interviews. The director must have had personal issue with his man to have been able to create such a subjective not objective film. I was hoping the film would give me a better insight yet I was left feeling I was not give the true story. I was very disappointed by the poor standard of journalism.

A extraordinarily one sided documentary
One Sided Story
I din't know who this man was though I came across some of his books which were quit interesting. When I watched this documentry, I was stunned and disgusted to see so many sheep following someone who wanted to make hell loads of money. Later one of my friends asked me to watch Wild Wild Country and after watching it, I felt I was wrong. People had their own believes. This documentry is so one sided and show the whole picture in a bad light. I can't believe the director cut the story into pieces and patched it up where ever he wanted changing the whole damn point of view.
