Although the Anglo-American system's portrayal of Saint Joan of Arc turned Joan into a normal person, indirectly aiding Leonard, from a promotional perspective this was very unfriendly to Europeans, especially the French people.
It is common knowledge that most people are annoyed when foreigners belittle their national heroes, so naturally, the French were dissatisfied with the documentary produced by the Americans.
In fact, the Doris family had never allowed the Discovery Channel to film a documentary about Joan, but American arrogance meant they completely disregarded the Doris family's wishes.
As far as the Doris family was concerned, there was little they could do about the American actions; after all, such consultation was just a tradition, not something mandated by law, so their only recourse was to protest.
