This documentary desperately tries to twist the facts in order to make this a issue of freedom of the press, and evil rich people trying to destroy freedom of speech. But it falls completely flat. What Gawker did was wrong, simple as that. They were rightly punished. The fact that the prosecution lowered their charges, in doing reducing the money they could earn as damages, to remove the defences insurances and put all costs on them personally is made out to be sinister. But in reality it shows that what they wanted was justice, not "damages". The idea that you can ruin lives and then have your insurance company pay damages for the privileged is sick, and these people consider that normal and can't understand why someone would want punishment for those individuals ahead of monetary gain?, they're pitiful.. so was this documentary.
