The documentary told the story of several families in the United States and overseas that have been battling the legal accusation of munchasen syndrome byproxy. Unfortunately, the film focused exclusively on denying that MSB is even a real disorder. They used cases that showed the dangers of a pharmaceutical drug, cisapride, which resulted in the doctors accusing the mother of MSB. The film displayed the true dangers of this pharmaceutical drug that has been banned after 2000, but it went into a further odd direction of claiming MSB is a hoax. I wish they would have focused on the dangers of this drug as the reason for this documentary instead of creating a conspiracy against MSB which is a real and documented diagnosis. This film had some real potential but missed the mark.
