Maestros of the ‘MeToo’ documentary, Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering set the Sundance Festival alight with this no-names-redacted exposé of urban music-biz sexual assaults. Their slow, sympathetic portrait rides shotgun with ’90s A&R whizz Drew Dixon as she (and 18 other women) accuses hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons of historic sexual assaults. Sensitive rather than sensationalist, it zeroes in on the community loyalty and music-biz misogyny that made predation possible to forge a hardhitting look at the high cost of ‘taking one for the team’.
