"The Ledger family says the documentary is a gift for Matilda."

Oh sure, nothing says great gift like telling a kid "your mom was pressuring your dad to be a perfect husband & father."

and insinuating it contributed to his untimely death, no less

I feel like if Heath's family still loves Michelle- and the last interview from a couple of years ago, they seemed to- they should have requested a better edit, since Heath's friends clearly want to blame Michelle for being a good mother (I'm assuming, because I really don't believe she'd restrict access to herself and their daughter if SOMETHING wasn't going down). And she clearly loved Heath.

I don't know, I really hope those quote snippets are out of context.

A good parent wouldn't let an addict around their kid.
She did what she had to do to protect their child and you can tell she's still gutted from it.
It's a terrible situation to be in! Ugh

[bostongirl2003]

of course they found a way to blame Michelle

I come from the same city from him. I was in year nine when he died and i cried for a good hour if only because he was one of the few good things to come from my city and he died the way he did. Eskimo Joe's song about Heath still fucks me up.

yeah same....i was driving to work when i heard it on the radio and i almost had to pull the car over. that remix of These Days by Powderfinger intercut with dialogue from his films pretty much ended me. i still tear up when i think about it. UGH.

[riotcalifornia]

wait, which one's their song about Heath?

[askrubes]

Foreign Land. Listen to the lyrics.

[burntxtoashes]

i'm not surprised that michelle didn't want to be interviewed. like...let her move on with her life.
