During the time the movie was out we had 3 books we read in class (one of course was the Autobiography ) and all sources pointed that film inaccuracy out, that's why it bugged me so much in the movie. But you know, one can be consulted on, but it doesn't mean that the director has to listen.
I remember at one point Amiri Baraka led a protest over Lee directing the film.
