The documentary will return to the story of two Hollywood stars who accuse each other of domestic violence, during a defamation trial broadcast live on the internet and commented on around the world, which was accompanied by a campaign of online hate and smear orchestrated by men against Amber Heard. The film will tackle the issues of fake news, propaganda and digital raids to see how masculinists managed to impose their narrative on public opinion, shaking up the #MeToo movement and reinforcing violence against women.
