Of course it is. It's sponsored by Mohammed Fayed who has been campaigning ever since the event to prove that Diana and his son were killed by the British security services, at the instigation of the Duke of Edinburgh.

The sole survivor isn't even interviewed in the film.

There's nothing like a balanced view, and this is certainly nothing like a balanced view

That looks like the case here Steve......
One thing that's always niggled me is why would Dodi or her bodyguard have permitted Henri to take the wheel of that car if he was actually as drunk as he later apparently was after the autopsy results........??
Seeing the film of him in the hotel lobby prior to there departure he did not appear drunk to me......
Guess we'll never really know....

People who are drunk don't always look drunk, but it still affects their judgement & reaction time

IIRC, the sole survivor didn't remember anything. I saw an interview of him years ago where he had said that.

Now that's what niggled (new word for me, BTW) me.

He remembered enough of the details to write (actually it was ghost written) a book about his experiences and memories. He mainly wrote it to counter a lot of the fantasies that Dodi's dad (Trevor's employer) was coming out with
