Silenced - Jetty Flicks screening

"A bracing, compassionate, and urgently necessary documentary that transforms complex legal battles into a deeply human story about power, credibility, and the precariousness of women’s voices in public life.” Peter Gray, The AU Review
This post #MeToo documentary reveals how defamation laws are weaponised to silence survivors. Featuring human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson, Amber Heard and Brittany Higgins.
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.
