Netflix dismissed calls from former Wisconsin prosecutor Ken Kratz that it allow a rebuttal or disclose bias in its hit docu-series “Making a Murderer,” which suggests that Kratz’s office contributed to framing Steven Avery for murder.
“I don’t think documentaries are unbiased, they do take a position,” Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said in an interview with TheWrap on Wednesday. “This is the filmmakers’ position, and they did a great job laying out the facts.”
In an email to TheWrap this week, Kratz said Netflix should “either provide an opportunity for rebuttal, or alert the viewers that this series was produced by and for the defense of Steven Avery.”
