Silenced

Selina Miles / Australia / 2026 / World Premiere / 92 min

MeToo cleaned up toxic, old power structures between the genders. The cultural silence was broken, and millions of women around the world who had experienced violence and abuse suddenly realized they were not alone. But since then, a new conservative backlash has formed, targeting the brave women who are speaking out at a time when politics and social media are merging.

At the eye of the storm stands renowned international human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson. She was Amber Heard’s lawyer in her high-profile case against Johnny Depp, and she is on a mission to help women who are threatened into silence. Whether the threats come from a violent boyfriend, social structures, or a legal system where both survivors and journalists are met with an avalanche of defamation cases that feel designed to maintain the status quo. In ‘Silenced’, we hear Amber Heard’s story told by herself, along with global voices – and the pattern is the same everywhere.
