In the wake of the global #MeToo movement, prominent international human rights lawyer – and ANU alumna – Jennifer Robinson leads a relentless legal battle against the weaponisation of defamation laws designed to silence victim-survivors of sexual violence.
The powerful documentary follows Robinson as she defends courageous whistleblowers and high-profile figures – including Brittany Higgins, Amber Heard and Catalina Ruiz-Navarro – who face crushing civil lawsuits and intimidation after speaking out against powerful abusers. Exposing systemic flaws in legal frameworks across multiple jurisdictions, the narrative illustrates how wealthy perpetrators exploit legal loopholes to suppress public truth and maintain immunity, while celebrating the bravery of women fighting to reclaim their voices within an intimidating justice system.
Directed by award-winning Australian filmmaker Selina Miles, this urgent feature made its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and has since gone on to receive widespread acclaim for its uncompromising advocacy and emotional force. Screening in observation of Human Rights Day, commemorating the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December, 1948.
