Netflix is entangled in a legal suit where the producers of a documentary aired by the US streaming giant are accused of commercially exploiting poor Kenyans whose lifestyle is captured in the film.
Four Kenyans claim they were not made aware their penury lifestyle would be showcased in the documentary titled Free Money, which first premiered in Toronto International Film Festival (Tiff) and then shown at the International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam (IDFA), before it was sold to Netflix in September last year.
