Ivy Meeropol’s documentary is an exuberant portrait of E. Jean Carroll—author and advice columnist—whose landmark lawsuits against President Donald Trump reverberated across American culture. Meeropol brings Carroll’s journey vividly to life, from her pioneering editorial career to her role in reshaping conversations about power, justice, and resilience.

Through kaleidoscopic archival materials and candid interviews, the film presents Carroll as more than a symbol of the #MeToo movement or headline-making litigation; she emerges as a sharp-witted trailblazer who inspires women to assert their voices in a fractured public sphere. Meeropol’s storytelling excavates the roots of Carroll’s courage, at the fault lines where gender, media, and justice collide. Meeropol's film, and her protagonist, invite audiences to reflect on the journey to reclaiming narrative power.

Screening followed by audience talkback with director Ivy Meeropol.
