In scenes observing the vice squad and the courtroom, we see how people get stuck in a system where “his word against hers” and “one witness is no witness” prevail. Who determines that sexual violence has occurred? And what happens if you decide to report it?
Sunny Bergman: ‘Since #MeToo, there have been constant shocking revelations about sectors of society where sexual violence is systematic. In my opinion, the ensuing debates focus too much on isolated incidents: the perpetrators are called monsters and everyone rushes to distance themselves from them, while structurally nothing changes. Meanwhile, a deeper understanding of why sexual violence affects so many people still seems a long way off.’
