The concept that recovered memories aren't reliable is the product of a pseudo-science based political campaign created to protect powerful trafficking networks that trade in children and adults used for blackmail and human experimentation. The Office of Naval Intelligence partially funded the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, and two former MK-Ultra contractors sat on its board, in other words, some highly connected people found they had something in common with accused parents—victims who were starting to talk.

At the same time, the average person doesn't want to believe that their beloved institutions can be corrupted, and that organized abuse exists in their community, so the false memory idea spread and became conventional wisdom. It is lie that recovered/dissociated memories are false. As two interviewees in the film rightly point out, what we now know about the neural systems involved in processing trauma has quite debunked the claims of false memory proponents.
