She shows us her privileged, narrow-minded viewpoint when she paints Reza as a pathological liar rather than someone who may have had poor options in poor circumstances. I empathize for the mother, but this podcast may have ruined Reza and Gru’s asylum status. Unethical reporting, how did the BBC not correct this (especially episode 10)?
