Saw this film and the audience got to ask the film maker questions, she basically said PBS in Boston made her question a lot of Goldman's activities in the film. And that the country was "polarized" right now and positive views of Goldman's work were really "out there" right now.
She also said she had to relate to Anarchism as something in the past and not the present to get it shown.
Has anyone else seen this film?
What did you think?

I saw the sneak preview in late March. Because it was filmed here in Nebraska, the university's theatre got to run the world premiere in a free showing. The place was packed! People sat in the aisles. The theatre's director came to the front before it started, and was proud to say that we were overcapacity and that the fire marshall would close the place down if they knew how many people were crammed in there.
The film itself was generally very excellent. It felt like there were maybe a couple of shots taken at anarchist theory as unrealistic, but it seemed pretty objective overall.
EDIT: By the way, the film is named Emma Goldman: An Exceedingly Dangerous Woman. The title of this thread was not quite complete.
