I agree that this movie ought to be released in theaters, so people can see that an independent film can have good production. If nothing else, educators should see it to understand the implication that might happen to some of their seemingly innoculous actions towards their students. Fortunately for me, I have taught at private schools and universities where students have been using this kind of false or partially false accusations against teachers or professors to bargain for grades. At the last school I taught, there was a rule against teachers touching students, but not the other way around. I protected myself by wearing long sleeve shirts and white gloves so if my elementary students touch me, I could not be accused of inappropriate behavior. When I taught college, I announced on the first day that no student can come within one meter of me, or I would deduct their grade. They were to leave their reports or examination sheets on their desk for me to come to pick them up later. Paranoid? Yes, but better be safe than sorry, right?
