Seeing Allred is a documentary about Gloria Allred, an American lawyer famous for appearing at rallies and creating media stunts for her clients. This doc is directed by Roberta Grossman (Homeland: Four Portraits of Native Action) and Sophie Sartain (Mimi and Dona).
The doc is well made, with great editing and music to keep somebody entertained continuously. It also has a great structure, with Allred telling her life story with in put from other people, from beginning to end. It helps that Allred is quite a interesting person and has been involved in much every high profile case, from the time she was became a lawyer, till now.
The major problem with this doc is that it is 100% one sided. Allred is one of the most controversial people in America. Yet, we get presented with a documentary telling us that she is an amazing person with no faults. Not to say she isn't a person with no faults. But I would like to hear the views of the people who don't like her t make a judgement for myself on weather I like her or not. Instead it is saying that she is a saint and it is stupid if you don't like her. May I just say I watched this documentary without knowing who Gloria Allred is, so I watched this doc completely unbiased. Which is why I wanted 2 points of view.
Well made and very interesting, but the one sided nature of the film is overwhelming to say the least.
