Seeing Allred
Friday, Netflix
Seeing Allred is the timely documentary about the notorious women's rights attorney Gloria Allred. Filmakers Sophie Sartain and Roberta Grossman follow Allred as she represents some of comedian Bill Cosby's accusers and supports clients such as Summer Zervos, the Apprentice contestant who accused Donald Trump of unwanted sexual advances.
The documentary examines the attorney’s divisive reputation; for some she is a determined warrior, a lightning rod of righteousness and justice, for others she is a hardened publicity seeker.
