Careful, BBC isn’t reliable source. They do manipulate material to push their narration
So…how much was he paid for the documentary? Sounds like an easy way to slip a bribe.
$75M in total. $40M for the rights. $35M in marketing. $28M went directly to Melania.
Disney offered $14M

Sony Pictures Classics co-president Tom Bernard says this typically costs $5-7M
So yeah, a not-so-subtle bribe.
There is no indication of wrongdoing from the files. The BBC has contacted Ratner’s representative for comment.
Really? Why can’t we see the faces of these “women” then? Isn’t the point of blocking their faces to hide the identity of VICTIMS?
There were many hidden identities that were not victims. For instance, Donald Trump.
Thats a girl. Not a woman. A child.
It might be Melania, as somebody pointed out here: https://lemmy.zip/comment/24360899
How do you know that?
Im going to assume you are being serious. I looked at the picture using my eyes.
Also why would the face be blocked if she was a consenting adult? The redactions were done reportedly to protect victims. Victims of child sexual abuse and trafficking.
I looked at the picture using my eyes.
Are you serious? You determined she’s definitively <18 by looking at a photo of exclusively her body?
why would the face be blocked if she was a consenting adult?
You’d have to ask Pam Bondi. They redacted all sorts of things, with no explanation provided. It would be completely reasonable to block out the faces of any women who were not suspected of being involved in any way as not to drive unwanted attention.
And if they weren’t a victim their faces wouldn’t be hidden. Having your arms around a victim in your lap “isn’t evidence of wrongdoing”?? Wow and just like that, “fact checking” is back in style.
And if they weren’t a victim their faces wouldn’t be hidden.
That’s not true given the current administration.
:O
