film synopsis
Witty, fearless, and unapologetically candid, journalist and columnist E. Jean Carroll has spent her life telling women to speak their truth—then did just that when she took on one of the most powerful men in the world—Donald Trump—accusing him of battery and defamation. Blending biography and courtroom drama, this engrossing portrait traces Carroll’s journey from Miss Cheerleader USA to pioneering magazine editor to cultural icon who redefined what it means to stand up, even decades later. Director Ivy Meeropol celebrates a woman whose fight for justice reignited a national reckoning about power, truth, and resilience.
