Prima Facie

Description

Tessa Ensler is a tough criminal defense lawyer. Her specialty is successfully defending cases of sexual assault. She knows the gaps in criminal law and detects all contradictions in the statements of female victims. Her beliefs are shaken when she herself is raped. The perpetrator is not a stranger, but her colleague Julian, with whom she has a workplace affair, but perhaps also the beginning of a deeper romantic relationship. When she files a complaint, she knows that the prima facie evidence does not speak in her favor – but it is not only about personal justice, but also about reckoning with a justice system she has believed in all her life. "Prima Facie" is one of the greatest theatrical successes of our time: the debut work of former criminal defense lawyer Suzie Miller was performed by countless theaters worldwide shortly after its release and has won multiple awards.
