Watched this last night. Fascinating story. It's all explained in the first 5 minutes, so I don't feel bad spoiling it....
A mother convinces her daughter that she is sick and must be in a wheelchair. Somehow doctors agree that the poor girl has 15+ medical conditions. Mother uses daughter to get free trips to Disney, houses, media attention, etc. Daughter eventually snaps.
