Seeing Allred (2018)
9/10
To love or to hate
23 July 2019
I can partly understand if some feel this is biased or one sided. But if you listen closely you can see and hear criticism. Also maybe it's just me, but when a person goes on the attack and offense like Allred does and did, I get defensive and wary. I don't believe in "the loudest voice is always right". You can also feel how her actions had an impact on her daughters life.

But as you can tell, if her name comes up, people do tend to get tense. Also we can even hear sound bites of the current President, saying she is all about the money (funny he criticizes Congress Women when they make similar statements) and others use that "attack" too. So there is controversy and the documentary may not shine the biggest light on it, but that is also because there is so much to cover.

She really changed a lot of things and whether you agree with some of her tactics or not, she helped a lot of people too. And while I'm still not sure about the term feminist or it's perception, she's a warrior of what is right and decent. Hopefully you will see that too and not judge her for any flaws you may see. There is always more to a person than the obvious ...
