Just file a complaint

The documentary T’as juste à porter plainte follows Léa Clermont-Dion’s legal process against her attacker, following her public denunciation in the wake of the #MoiAussi movement in 2017.

Victims are often told that all they have to do is file a complaint. But what if it’s not that simple? In this intimate, emotionally-charged documentary, Léa goes to meet those who have not only said “me too”, but have also taken the crossroads. The aim is to give the microphone to those whose voices have been silenced by the justice system. How do they cope? Guided by the experience of Léa, who filed a complaint for a sexual assault suffered at the age of 17 during her first student job, T’as juste à porter plainte is punctuated by interviews with other victims and legal experts.

For nearly fifteen years, Léa Clermont-Dion has been recognized for her social commitment to the emancipation of women. She is the recipient of the Vanier Doctoral Fellowship, Canada’s most prestigious award for academic excellence and community impact. In addition, her work as a documentary filmmaker has been recognized by the American organization Women Make Movies.
