An Army of Women (15)
Directed by Julie Lunde Lillesaeter
★★★★

IN 2018 three Austin women joined a groundbreaking class action lawsuit against the police and prosecutors in Austin and Travis County and were the first to argue that sexual assault isn’t prosecuted because it’s a crime that predominantly affects women.

Julie Lunde Lillesaeter’s powerful documentary and directorial debut follows sexual assault survivors Amy (pseudonym), Marina and Hanna on their brave and arduous journey as they join 12 other plaintiffs fighting for justice. 

It is the testimony of these courageous and extraordinary women that cannot fail to move you. They are harrowing tales of sexual assault and rape followed by having to relive their ordeals again and again and not being believed as the police and the authorities take no action to prosecute their attackers.
