The film is fiction but the story all too familiar to thousands of Americans whose elderly parents have been entrapped by little scrutinised guardianship programmes. Many speak of a sense of helplessness in the face of system rife with the abuse, neglect and profit-driven exploitation of vulnerable people.
The opening scene of I Care a Lot, for example, would strike a chord with Doug Franks.

It was the beginning of a four-year nightmare.
