The Case You
Documentary (80 min) | German OV | 5.1 Surround Sound | 2020
A casting. Many incidents of abuse. Five actresses who stand up against them. Director Alison Kuhn gives these women and herself a voice. What does such an experience mean for those affected?
Five young women tell their stories. Several years ago, they all took part in the same casting and were confronted with systematic abuse, some of it sexual and violent in nature. Together, they work through what happened back then and courageously share their thoughts and emotions. With the emergence of the #MeToo movement in 2017, sexual abuse in the film industry — as well as beyond it — has become an increasingly urgent issue. THE CASE YOU – ONE CASE AMONG MANY offers insights into how such acts occur and what they mean for the lives and work of those affected.
The result is a highly topical film about #MeToo and the culture of abuse within the film and performing arts industries — a film for everyone interested in issues surrounding the abuse of power within institutional structures, as well as questions concerning the boundaries of art. How far can art go? How can we prevent these boundaries from being crossed?
