A Dark Place

A Dark Place is de eerste diepgravende documentaire over online intimidatie van vrouwelijke journalisten; een internationaal groeiend probleem dat verder gaat dan genderkwesties en van invloed is op de manier waarop we de samenleving informeren. Daarmee brengt de intimidatie van vrouwelijke journalisten uiteindelijk ook onze democratie in gevaar. A Dark Place laat dit helder zien met verhalen van vrouwen die slachtoffer werden van online agressie en reacties van experts op het gebied van gender en persvrijheid. De geïnterviewden zijn afkomstig uit Finland, Servië, Spanje, de Russische Federatie, Turkije, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en de Verenigde Staten.
