When acclaimed violinist Lara St. John goes public about the sexual assault she endured at age 14 at the prestigious Curtis Institute, she is flooded with stories from fellow survivors. Determined not to stay silent, Lara travels across North America and Europe to meet others who, like her, were failed by the institutions they trusted. The film reveals a global pattern of harm rooted in power, silence, and the protection of reputation over justice. Each screening will be followed by a roundtable discussion with Anne Midgette, writer and critic of music, opera and the visual arts and Patrick Hamm, producer of the documentary.
