Synopsis of the Documentaries
The Curious Case of Natalia Grace delves into the conflicting accounts surrounding Natalia's tumultuous journey, from her origins in the Ukraine to her placement with Michael and Kristine Barnett in 2010.
A contentious dispute arose, with Michael claiming Natalia's age was older than she asserted, while Natalia accused Kristine of physical and psychological abuse. The legal age of Natalia was altered from eight to 22, and she was relocated to an unmodified apartment, unsuitable for her rare bone disorder.
In Natalia Speaks, her side of the story is revealed, accompanied by extensive DNA testing that validates her true age. The follow-up docu-series uncovers the aftermath of the shocking revelations, featuring a compelling sit-down between Natalia and adoptive father Michael Barnett, as they confront the accusations and controversies surrounding their tumultuous relationship.
