I felt this movie did a disservice to the issue of the HeLa cells story. It was used as a vehicle to allow Oprah some dramatic acting credit. The story of Henretta Lacks and the HeLa cells was secondary. Also I felt the way the family was presented in the movie was disrespectful. They were portrayed as ignorant and mentally unstable. The movie hopefully did educate more people about Henretta Lacks's contribution to science. But, in the future hopefully someone else will create a better film.
