IN THE MeToo era, which seems to have been defined by Harvey Weinstein and his white female victims, what is the cost of coming forward for women of colour who have also suffered abuse, sexism and misogyny, in this instance at the hands of powerful and wealthy black men?
That is the eye-opening and searing question explored in Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering's third film in their trilogy of groundbreaking documentaries on sexual assault, first in the US military and then on college campuses.
