They’re not at all happy about it.
It was announced this week that a documentary about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann will air on Netflix this month.
The documentary, which will no doubt be widely viewed, will feature interviews with key investigators in what is the 12th anniversary of Madeleine’s disappearance.
However, Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann have now issued a lengthy statement about the Netflix piece.
“We are aware that Netflix are planning to screen a documentary in March 2019 about Madeleine’s disappearance.
“The production company told us that they were making the documentary and asked us to participate.
“We did not see – and still do not see – how this programme will help the search for Madeleine and, particularly given there is an active police investigation, it could potentially hinder it.
“Consequently, our views and preferences are not reflected in the programme.
They added, “We will not be making any further statements or giving interviews regarding this programme.”
Madeleine McCann disappeared from her hotel room in Praia de Luz, in Portugal in 2007, while her parents were having dinner nearby.
