Truth vs. fiction
Dec 16th, 2009 by admin
I often quote my mother, who has said that “Truth is stranger than fiction”. In Tennessee
, a divorce case inspired a movie script.
In this case, it sounds like an enterprising individual felt that his case had so many “twists and turns” that it would make a good movie script. The individual, John Lewis, has teamed up with William Fain of “William Fain Productions”. Fain released a movie in 2008 about his own experience in family court in connection with parenting his daughter. (Here is where you can get more information about that project.)
Lewis has decided to go ahead with the script even though his case is being appealed. It’s not the strategy I would recommend. I suspect that Lewis’s retelling of events could bring negative attention to more than just the family court system.
