Featuring director Cynthia Lowen, founder of Feminist Frequency Anita Sarkeesian and victims rights attorney Carrie Goldberg.

As the online world becomes a hub for harassment, meet the women confronting digital abuse head-on. Anita Sarkeesian, founder of Feminist Frequency, and Carrie Goldberg, victims' rights attorney, join director Cynthia Lowen for a bold discussion about taking back the internet. Hosted by Steph Guthrie.

About the film
The internet is the largest public space we find ourselves in—and it has become a battleground. From award-winning director Cynthia Lowen comes an explosive documentary exposing the victims caught between the fight for freedom of speech and high-profile privacy invasion and harassment. Digital abuse, although carried out through the invisibility cloak of the internet, is still abuse and women have had their lives destroyed as a result. Online death and rape threats, privacy violations, stalking, impersonation, non-consensual pornography and more have caused women to silently suffer through lost jobs, thwarted educations and countless hours devoted to containing attacks against a backdrop of mounting legal fees and psychological distress. Anita Sarkeesian (feminist media critic, blogger and public speaker), Tina Reine (activist and survivor), Carrie Goldberg (victims’ rights attorney) and Elisabeth Aultman (producer) courageously tell their stories of confronting and overcoming harassment as they work to transform policy to make the web a safer place. Heather Haynes
