Producer Mark Laita has shone a spotlight on the family by releasing a short 12-minute film on his YouTube channel Soft White Underbelly, in a bid to report on untold stories from across the country. He has described the inbred family as like something out of the 1972 thriller, Deliverance. In April last year he revisited the Whittaker family, who he first met in 2004 and filmed in 2020, and spoke about it on the channel.
