International human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson takes audiences into the courtroom and behind the headlines to reveal how the legal system is being used to discredit, re-victimize and financially ruin survivors of gendered violence.
Robinson brings unrivalled access to the women and journalists at the centre of high-profile legal battles across the globe, including Catalina Ruiz-Navarro, Latin American journalist and co-founder of the feminist magazine Volcánicas; former political staffer Brittany Higgins; and Amber Heard, Hollywood actor and advocate who found herself at the centre of the most high-profile defamation battle in the post-#MeToo era.
Directed by International Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Selina Miles and Blayke Hoffman, and inspired by Robinson’s book How Many More Women?, Silenced is a powerful, emotional and urgent documentary that challenges the devastating flaws maintaining the status quo within the justice system.
Opening Film 2026 Sydney Film Festival
