Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

Survivors of child sexual abuse wish Twitter a happier 15th birthday than the one they had and are forced to relive because Twitter refuses to remove their content from the platform.

Tell the jury about the casting process.

We allowed our actors to read for any of the six real victims. The actors were encouraged to choose the victim story that they emotionally connected with the most, and bring whichever emotion they thought they would experience if it happened to them. We got everything from sadness and self-pity to frustration and anger for every victim, and it allowed the actors to really get into the fragile headspace of each of the real victims. We then chose the actors who best represented the actual emotions felt by each of the victims for the most accurate representation possible.
