Sundance Doc ‘Silenced’ Tackles the Weaponization of Defamation Cases in the Post-MeToo Era

International human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson is at the center of the documetnary that includes first-person testimonials from client

Focusing on the work of international human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson, and using Robinson’s 2023 book Silenced Women as a framework, the documentary focuses on how defamation laws are weaponized against women who spoke about their experiences with sexual assault, harassment and gender-based violence. The documentary shows the legal mechanisms that have since been employed to punish those women, whether high profile or not, and ensure that they are unable to talk about their own experiences in public.

In Silenced, Heard says in a talking head style interview that she was willing to speak about her experiences dealing with defamation suits to shine a light on the legal retaliation that can be deployed against those who speak about gender-based violence and sexual abuse.  

“Amber lent her voice to this film at great personal risk, and with everything that she’s been through, it’s extraordinary that she’s having the courage to continue to speak about her experience,” said Miles, adding, “She was emphatic to us from the beginning that this film isn’t about her.”

On this day, 9 August 1970, 150 people, including the British Black Panthers, marched on local police stations to demand an end to police raids on the Mangrove Caribbean restaurant in Notting Hill, London. Nine people were arrested and charged with conspiracy to incite a riot. Those arrested were Frank Crichlow, Darcus Howe, Altheia Jones-LeCointe, Barbara Beese, Rupert Boyce, Rhodan Gordon, Anthony Innis, Rothwell Kentish, and Godfrey Millett. All were later acquitted of conspiracy charges. Home Office documents later revealed the raids were part of a plot to destroy the emerging Black power movement in the UK. The events served as the subject of the 2020 Steve McQueen film, Mangrove.

people make jokes about how people who weren’t allowed to watch spongebob as a kid are always talking about how they weren’t allowed to watch spongebob but as one of the aforementioned people who wasn’t allowed to watch spongebob my insight on the matter is: you would not BELIEVE the amount of times spongebob comes up in normal adult conversations. i don’t often think about him of my own accord but people reference him and i have to say. what? and they say. it’s from spongebob?? and i say. oh i never watched spongebob. and they say why? and i say. i wasn’t allowed to. and then a few weeks later it happens again

please look through the hiroshima peace memorial museum's august 6 exhibition and the stories of victims and survivors. today, august 6, is the 80th anniversary of the bombing of hiroshima, and saturday is the 80th anniversary of the bombing of nagasaki. please consider these events not only as a series of numbers or even a single day in world history but as the living hell they created for hundred of thousands of people. i realize a lot of people in the world probably don't know as much about the actual circumstances experienced by the people of hiroshima and nagasaki, as well as the indigenous people (downwinders and marshallese) affected by nuclear arms testing by the us, so instead of getting any more angry about how people talk about it (and how they dont talk about it) i just want to share. the images in those links are hard to look at but it's important, if you're in a safe place, please take the time to sit with them and what they say to you, it would mean a lot to me. all of the peace museum's permanent exhibitions are accessible for free online, i strongly recommend exploring them. & free palestine

today is the 81st anniversary of the bombing of hiroshima. august 9 is the 81st anniversary of the bombing of nagasaki. please take some time to remember the lives that were destroyed in these senseless attacks. it's also important to remember that there is no limit to what the united states is willing to do to any people it considers an obstacle to its imperial interest and there is no limit to what it will say in attempt to justify these atrocities.

ATTENTION TUMBLRINXS:

I am hoping to re-start my letter-writing habit from circa 2020-2023. Would any of you like to correspond with me via paper mail?

My primary correspondent @draftdodgerag is no longer a viable option since we “live together” and “see each other every day” but they can attest that I write a good letter.

the speed with which the victims of state violence are labeled "unstable" by the state should make absolutely clear the necessary connection between police/prison abolition and mad rights/antipsychiatry.

there has never been a time in the history of psychiatry where "strenuously objecting to one's own mistreatment at the hands of authority figures" was not a diagnostic criteria for at least one disorder. read that again.

in a system where the "mental healthcare" frameworks are built on a preservation of the cultural status quo, advocating for oneself in the face of mistreatment becomes a symptom of illness.
