An Army of Women

A compelling documentary that places us at the heart of the battle against a justice system which systematically fails to address rape cases in Austin, Texas.

In the face of the alarming reality that fewer than one percent of reported rape cases result in felony convictions in the US, this timely film introduces us to a group of women embarking on a journey of activism and healing. They have filed a federal class-action lawsuit against the Austin police department and district attorney for mishandling sexual assault cases. Despite immense pushback from law enforcement, The film documents their fight, as survivors and their allies challenge the legal system. A record of a fight against institutional inequality, An Army of Women is a compassionate portrait of the women confronting a broken system and a rally cry for activism wherever such situations exist, showing the power and hope of collective action.
