Meet Selina Miles, director of "Silenced". After #MeToo broke the cultural silence on gender violence, international human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson fights against the weaponization of defamation laws to silence survivors. One of the strengths of Australian director Selina Miles’ engrossing documentary is the anger it ignites — an energizing anger born not of helplessness, but of clarity. Miles’ vérité approach creates intimacy, while extensive archival footage exposes both the personal cost and the systemic bias shaping legal battles faced by Jennifer Robinson and others. From Amber Heard’s public scrutiny, to Catalina Ruiz-Navarro’s fight for press freedom in Colombia, to Brittany Higgins’ struggle within Australia’s political establishment, Silenced reveals a global pattern: When women speak out, powerful systems move to discredit and punish them. Playing in the World Cinema Documentary Competition at the #SundanceFilmFestival. Visit for ticket information.
