Bottom Line: For every question the film answers, more seem to be raised.

Symon Prods.

This review was written August 21, 2007. I wonder if Frank Scheck knew of the involvement of Werner Erhard's attorney Walter Maksym in the production of the "documentary" through his production company, Eagle Island Films - and chose not to question or write about that connection in the review?

Scheck writes that it was a "journalistic coup" for Robyn Symon to get the first public interview in more than a decade with Werner Erhard. But if there are questions behind the production motivations of the film and the fact that it was executive produced by Werner Erhard's attorney Walter Maksym, is this really such a "journalistic coup" at all?

Scheck points out that one of Werner Erhard's daughters recanted sexual abuse allegations against him, but weren't there two other daughters and their governess in the film as well? Is it not true that they never recanted their allegations against him?

This is a short and succinct review that brings up some questions, but does not delve into enough detail about these questions that should leave us all scratching our heads.

Correction, sorry. I have no idea if Werner Erhard's daughters were in the film, but weren't 2 other daughters other than the one that recanted the sexual abuse allegations also in the "60 Minutes" piece from March 3rd, 1991, and is it not true that they and governess Dawn Damas that was also in the "60 Minutes" interview, never did recant the sexual abuse allegations against Werner Erhard ?

Here is a contact form:

If one wished to contact the editorial staff or the writer of the review and ask some of these questions , as to why the background behind the production of the "documentary" was not questioned within the review, the "journalistic coup", or about Werner Erhard's other 2 daughters and governess never recanting serious abuse allegations.
