I honestly think that the book was written in a way that puts the blame on the scientists and expects some kind of compensation for the Lacks Family. I don't think that the movie therefore will be any different than the book. I think that The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is quasi-ethnographic, seeing as how she decided to incorporate family interviews and such, and in being such, it presents itself in a light that has more sympathy for the family while putting some blame and fault on the people and social conditions that allowed for this to happen. Therefore, I ultimately think that the movie will do the same.
