Trailblazing journalist, author and advice columnist E. Jean Carroll broke barriers with her sharp wit and fearless voice. More recently, she reignited public discourse, as the only woman to beat Donald Trump twice in court, sparking a national conversation about truth, accountability and resilience. This intimate portrait of an indomitable woman shows it’s never too late to rewrite your story and change the world.

“A perfect mirror of Carroll’s habit of countering conflict with comedy.” – RogerEbert.com
