English It's incredibly difficult to watch, this story about the predator Dan Schneider, who was the creator of The Amanda Show with Amanda Bynes. Testimonies from his colleagues, former child stars... The working conditions were unbelievable, with two scriptwriters having to share one salary and similar atrocities, exploitation of child labor, constant sexist remarks, and so on. It was disgusting. A display of power in a relatively small TV network in the 90s. ()
