I had forgotten about this until now. Henrietta Lacks the Movie starring OPRAH an article from DM

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4365578/Henrietta-Lacks-son-ve-used-Oprah-HBO.html

I saw the movie. It was way too short. And I agree it did not tell the true story of Henrietta Lacks. There was much more to her deep personality and her love for her family. A real shame.

That's why I don't watch Hollywood films that purport to tell the story of historical figures. You won't ever get the real story. Just remember that Hollyweird is an arm of the military-political complex.

I know. I was hoping there would be some similarity to the story. I hate any of the Bible movies or Historic movies. Never watch them. Actually never see any new movies at all. Hate them. I was hoping that since Oprah bought the rights and she was Black too, but now knowing what I know, that was asking for too much.
