Thanks for posting this, I had a feeling this was not a fair documentary, which is too bad because these kids absolutely went through hell, and now they're just being used again.

For anyone who wants to actually know, Jeannette McCurdy's book "I'm Glad my mom died" is a very deep dive on what it's like to be a child actress. It is... Brutal at times. She read it herself for the audiobook and it's also at times hard to listen to, these kids were just exploited. It's worth it though, and I can't recommend it enough.
