However, not all aspects of the German’s life made it to the documentary. Speaking to Matt Clayton on the In the Fast Lane podcast, Nocker revealed she had a gentleman’s agreement with Corrina. Their agreement allowed the 52-year-old to destroy anything they recorded which didn’t have a place in the film.

She said, “We had one gentleman’s agreement with Corrina. It’s that we do the interviews, and she can tell all. In the end, if we don’t use anything that she really does not want in this film, we’re going to destroy that. So, that was the only boundary that we had. I think that’s respectful, I can live with that. As a journalist, I can easily live with that.”
