Channel 4 as such haven't "faked" documentaries - they have however, shown programmes where the independent producers have faked or contrived content. A convenient get-out for them, I know. One was on gun running, if I remember rightly, that featured supposed real underworld armourers who were not real at all!

Having read the review I would like to suggest it is of course possible that the performer was *acting* non-consent. Of course, I don't know if this is the case, but it is worth bearing in mind....

Matt I enjoyed(in a sick kind of a way) your site.

Hopefully your not trying to become a celebrity by trying to take CH4 to task for a documentary.
The email from Max Hardcore is interesting. But I think you are a bit short sighted. You should be getting a wider picture, not just talking to Max, what about 'Richard' and Felicity herself? What about the way the film was hyped? What about the limited reactions of lesser informed people?

Thank you for your comments about the site (I think). I'd love to contact more people but I am at a loss about how to do it. Max Hardcore was the most obvious (and easiest) target. I'm happy if only to get an apology from him for how it appeared. I doubt I'll get too far with Channel 4 and Principal, but I'll give it a go.
I'm certainly not trying to become a celebrity but I'm flattered the thought clearly crossed your mind
Take care matey.

Another response...
Dear Sir,
The scene with Felicity was never completed, and obviously, the she was
clearly upset, and in over her head. This in spite of repeated assurances
from her agent who accompanied her. During our pre shooting meeting,
everything was explained to her, and her agent, and she agreed to do the
scene as discussed. Her ID was copied and verified, and she signed a model
release. Her agent insisted she was ready, and also that the film crew cover
the event. I reluctantly agreed let them cover the shoot, and Felicity came
in and met me as if she had just arrived.
However, since this was obviously a traumatic episode for Felicity, I have
made a decision to not release the material.
To answer your final question, our "actresses," are indeed playing parts in
a fictional stories. All records are kept in accordance with the US
Federal guidelines Title 18, USC 2257.
Sincerely,
Max Hardcore

Having not seen the video, I have to admit this could be true. I'm sure the reviewer would've been able to distinguish between faked non-consent and otherwise. Who knows???
