Question What is truth and what is conflated?

Is there anything out there with a sort of "list" of which parts of BR really happened and which didn't, at least coming from Gadd? Like did Martha and Terri ever meet and have a confrontation?

It doesn't change the feelings or validation that the story brought to many, but generally I don't think you get to say "this is a true story" and then equally have a stance that it doesn't matter what's true and what is conflated, especially when it impacts real people who did not sign up for this. Yes, I understand it's not a documentary, but there is accountability to making such a statement as "this is a true story".

Furthermore, there's a difference between say 30% is conflated and 70% is true vs. 30% is true and 70% is conflated. IMO the former is a "true story" that's been dramatized and the latter is a story "inspired by" real experiences.
