Did you read much about the production of that documentary, or any of the reviews? It is not well-regarded, its creator isn't a journalist, and it was funded (on Kickstarter) in large part by MRA activists.

From the Village Voice review (which is not charitable), and remember the context that her doc opens with an exploration of "rape culture":

I feel comfortable calling her “propagandist” because of my own “research” (ie. “reading the top search results”). Here’s something Elam wrote on A Voice for Men in 2010: “Should I be called to sit on a jury for a rape trial, I vow publicly to vote not guilty, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that the charges are true.” What excuse would any serious documentarian have for not asking Elam to explain that?
