In her statement, she advised them not to press charges as they are only wasting their time and resources. She stated that the movie was a completely fictional movie and the boy’s name or image of the boy as well as their families were not represented in the movie.
She encouraged them to watch the movie first before they start criticizing her and explained that it was just a movie dedicated to the four boys killed by mobs in the Aluu community in 2012.
In her words:
“Dear Livingston and partners, thank you so much for the press statement you put in two days ago. It brought so much awareness to this film that talks about jungle justice as a menace in our society and the things that need to be done to stop or curtail it.
“You’re backing over nothing. Dark October is a complete work of fiction. Dedicated to the memory of Aluu 4. There are no facts in the film. I wish you’d watch it before taking any action because I guarantee you, you would be wasting your time and resources.”
