Numerous friends and neighbors related Allen's actions and the main social worker investigating the case back the accounts of Mia and Dylan. And you think a song lyric disproves all of that? You didn't read or watch enough.

I apologize if I gave the impression that it was all. I did say that there was a lot more out there.

This particular production was very one-sided, and, I say that even as my first AND second instincts are to believe the woman’s narrative. I have a healthy skepticism of celebrities given my work in that industry for 2 decades.

I would think that doc was accurate, too, if I hadn’t learned more from reliable people peripherally involved.

The production wasn't one-sided and there was no agenda, other than to tell a story that had been one-sided in Allen's favor, thanks to his power. The filmmakers got into the project by happenstance, and are well-respected documentarians.

Here is an interview on the genesis of the project:

is famous like so many seem to be able to and for him to have that support and people battle for him makes me sick. I watched it too a couple months ago.
