Join us for a special charity preview of AN ARMY OF WOMEN in support of Refuge. After the film, there will be a Q&A with the film’s director Julie Lunde Lillesæter, and Refuge champion Lorien Haynes. This will be an opportunity to dive deeper into the film's message and the important work Refuge is doing to support survivors of domestic abuse and end violence against women and girls
A group of women in Austin, Texas, join forces to legally challenge the system that allowed their rapists to walk free. AN ARMY OF WOMEN is the landmark story of women fighting to hold law enforcement accountable, with resounding relevance worldwide.
When Amy, Marina and Hanna’s rape cases are dismissed by the Austin police, all three women try to find a way to rebuild their lives. They join forces with twelve other women in a groundbreaking federal class-action lawsuit, the first to argue that sexual assault isn’t prosecuted because it’s a crime that predominantly affects women. The group is determined to hold police and prosecutors accountable for their inaction, but their resilience is tested as they face setbacks from the system they hope to change. Ultimately, AN ARMY OF WOMEN offers a hopeful look into a movement that aims to change the future for women everywhere.
Join us in supporting Refuge and helping raise vital funds for survivors of domestic abuse. 50% of proceeds from this event will go directly to Refuge’s fundraising efforts.
