Logline

I WAS ATTACKED

This film uses animation to render visible the experiences of countless women from all over the world who have been affected by sexualized violence. Specific situations are portrayed, but the main focus is on what happens inside: the fear, the trauma, the feeling of powerlessness and helplessness that doesn’t end with the crime, but that is perpetuated by offenders who go unpunished and authorities who don’t take action.



  • Duration: 4 min.
