And again, I like Lily, I can appreciate her circumstances, and I love the growth she has made through all this, but in an honest appraisal I have to say that in this instance her story has more holes in it than the covid narrative. In fact When putting their actions and John's subsequent murder into perspective in regard to the conference it can be seen that Lily and John's involvement, or rather their would be, and perceived involvement in Anarchapulco through their own actions and the extremely bad choices they made, only ultimately served to undermine and cast a very bad light on a fledging movement and fast growing event that they actually had zero association with at all.
Throughout the series, Jeff Berwick, who actually helped the producers of this documentary series with fund raisers so the film could be completed, has been backstabbed and portrayed in the most unfavorable and dishonest of ways; The Freemans are presented as the hero's when nothing could be further from reality. Lily has been portrayed as the poor downtrodden heroine and the entire series seems to have actually been created to not only shine a bad light on Mexico and destroy any true concept of the Anarchist movement, but to also pull at enough heart-strings to hopefully get Lily a pardon so the producers can make a part 2 series on "Lily's path back to life" - and maybe grab a couple more million from HBO for a follow up in the process. And don't get me wrong here. I hope Lily does get a pardon. She deserves it. But I think the producers' motivations in possibly helping her get one are somewhat less than honorable.
By it's omission of so much vital and relevant data, all in all, this documentary has been a dismally biased and factually dishonest hit piece against the freedom movement and has been produced in such a way as to portray anyone questioning the system as a fool. It appears to have also been created in a manner so as to deliberately make Acapulco, and Mexico in general, appear far more dangerous than it is. With two episodes left to go, will this series finish on a positive note? I'd say it's very doubtful...
the lesson here is to always remember that no matter how genuine they may appear to be, under no circumstances should anyone ever trust or expect any real honesty from a film maker with ties to the mainstream.
my two cents...
