Ok, but the people in the article you’re referencing are representing organizations the filmmaker is essentially calling fraudulent. I think who is questioning his credibility is pretty relevant, and from the article you cited, it’s the same organizations that he’s accusing of being highly misleading. Of course they are going to come out and disagree with him.

Do some research on your own. Many of the researchers they mention have come out and said they Either cut footage to make things more dramatic, changed facts to fit the narrative, or just plain or lied about what they said. The documentary is bunk.
