There are journalists for that (and there have already been some great pieces from that angle about the allegations contained within this movie). Sure, you can question the testimonies presented in a film and the filmmaker's perspective, and sometimes you should. It is not a critic's or film goer’s role to investigate the facts presented in a documentary. Every documentary comes from a perspective, even the ones that don’t make that perspective blatantly clear. It is not a place where there’s a legal requirement for cross-examination or demand for a burden of proof. First things first, although I know this won’t matter to the people mounting a campaign against this project: a film is not a trial.
