An Army of Women with Panel Discussion

The landmark story of women fighting to hold law enforcement accountable


Julie Lunde Lillesæter

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 ground-breaking 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. This screening includes a panel discussion after the film to raise awareness about the work of the Crisis Center and the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative, and to hold space to honor survivors of sexual assault. *Ticketing for this event is on a sliding scale "Pay What You Can" structure. A portion of the proceeds will go towards supporting the Crisis Center. Seating is limited and first come, first served.*
