Documentary Shows How Defamation Lawsuits Silence Abuse Survivors

New film *Silenced* examines how courts in the U.S., Colombia, and Australia weaponize defamation suits to drain survivors' resources and suppress their stories. Using cases involving Amber Heard and journalist Catalina Ruiz-Navarro, director Selina Miles shows how these legal tactics work across borders to silence both survivors and journalists reporting on sexual violence.
