Strong on opinions and political tropes. Light on facts and actual investigative reporting. Either the females in the documentary had the worst attorneys in the world, or (more likely) the documentary purposely skips over incredibly important evidence and facts discovered in the cases.
This is not a documentary or investigative reporting. It's a person with a soundbox that already had a political narrative in mind and was going to push it no matter what facts or evidence is uncovered. You are innocent until proven guilty in the US. There was no proof of rape in any of the cases. And, I am sorry, but you can't just prosecute someone for a mere accusation with no proof. That would be ridiculous, but that it is what the creator of this film is pushing for against men, but not against women. The women all plead guilty, the film just glosses over why. A guilty plea in of itself is still not enough to judicially punish someone. You still need some proof that the defendant committed the crime (false reporting) beyond a guilty plea and clearly a DA and Judge agreed the women in 2 of the cases falsely reported. The film leads you to believe that the police also had absolute power in these cases . That's simply not how the justice works. A judge, a DA, and the police all agreed that 2 of these women should have been prosecuted for false reporting. The other they charged with theft, but didn't pursue anything and let her go freely. Judges, DAs, and police are not usually friendly with one another, but in these cases all came to the same conclusions. The film skips over why entirely.
