LOUD ENOUGH - SURVIVING JUSTICE follows the story of Madison Smith, a sexual assault survivor, and her tight-knit family as they fight for justice and systemic change. This intimate, personal film, directed by the Emmy Award-winning producer Hilary Klotz Steinman, reveals the Herculean effort still required for a survivor of sexual violence and their loved ones to hold an attacker and the U.S. judicial system accountable.
After surviving a life-threatening sexual assault and re-traumatized by her treatment by the police and prosecutor, Madison was stunned when the local county prosecutor declined to file charges against the rapist, despite a strong case and compelling physical evidence. Madison and her family refused to let the criminal justice system deny the facts and ignore her case, or to give up their quest for legal consequences. LOUD ENOUGH - SURVIVING JUSTICE chronicles the poignant journey of an ordinary family confronting a system biased against them, undergoing personal transformation, and embarking on a new mission as activists fighting for lasting change. Through their emotional wins and crushing defeats, this compelling story demonstrates the power of love, tenacity, and community to survive, and explores concrete ways in which the criminal justice system in America can and must change.
