Ask E. Jean (TBC)

— ,Cinemas

The thrilling and adventurous life of beloved advice columnist and gonzo journalist E. Jean Carroll, the only woman to beat Trump in court. Twice. 

In 2019, galvanized by the #MeToo movement, Carroll went public with something she had buried for years: she had been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump. When the president accused her of lying, Carroll fought back with two lawsuits. 

In documenting Carroll’s story, filmmaker Ivy Meeropol juxtaposes the advice Carroll gave – encouraging women to stand up for themselves, to press charges, to never remain silent – with what she did not do herself at the time. 

Ask E. Jean examines the societal hurdles women face when confronting predatory men and their lies, highlighting the power of truth to combat gaslighting.
