Silenced

Courtroom footage and behind-the-headlines interviews reveal how the legal system is being used to victimise, discredit and ruin survivors, and journalists reporting on their stories. From Amber Heard in London to journalist Catalina Ruiz-Navarro in Colombia, and Brittany Higgins in our own backyard, women globally face a new kind of silencing at the hands of perpetrators of sexual violence. It's a legal backlash Australian Jennifer Robinson is committed to fighting, inspired by her grandmother who was also a survivor. With unrivalled access, Selina Miles (Martha: A Picture Story, SFF 2019) challenges the flaws in the justice system that make this silencing possible, while revealing the cost to those who speak up.
