I went into this doc with trepidation because I had always considered Gloria Allred to be a brash, loud-mouthed feminist, who had nothing to say that didn't make her money.
Unlike at least one reviewer here, I can admit to being wrong AFTER actually watching the film. Gloria Allred is a fighter, and yes, she does appear on TV a lot, but there is a deeper purpose in it. She is laser focused on women's rights and getting her message out to the general public, so that change can be achieved.
The documentary takes us through Gloria's fight and even some of her early life, but you can tell by watching that she doesn't really consider herself part of the story. As I said, LASER-focused on other women.
To be honest, it's stunning to me that Allred is still very necessary in 2018 America, but she clearly is. Anyone who can look objectively at what's happened in and to the country in the past two years knows that. There are some that won't see it and that's to their detriment. Truth truly does set us free!
So, no matter what you currently feel about Gloria Allred, watch this doc. It was well worth my time, is well put together, and I can almost guarantee that if your opinion of her has been formed from listening to others, your opinion will be changed.
