Excerpt

In this choral story with the air of a psychological thriller, we follow four women across two continents: Laura Boldrini, ex-president of the Italian parliament; Kiah Morris, ex-American Democratic representative; Marion Séclin, French actress and Youtuber, and Donna Zuckerberg, specialist in cyber-violence against women and sister of Facebook’s founder.

In the end, this tour de force makes you feel the uncomplicated hatred whose objective is clear: to silence those who shine. Some will fall under the cruel, crystal-clear knife of the click, while others, proud warriors, will stand their ground and refuse to be silenced.

This feature-length documentary produced by La Ruelle Films looks at the impact and scourge of cyber-violence and digital misogyny.
