SYNOPSIS
Television journalist Tracey Spicer sent out a tweet in October 2017 asking Australians if they had their own #MeToo stories in the wake of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual abuse cases. She received messages that grew from hundreds to thousands, as ordinary Australians came forward to share their experiences of sexual assault and harassment.
Across three episodes, Silent No More follows Tracey as she tackles the confusion and backlash of #MeToo and shines a light on how the system can be reformed for #MeToo to catalyse positive change for future generations.
CURRICULUM LINKS: Suitable viewing for students in Years 10 – 12 in Civics and Citizenship, English, Health and Human Development, Legal Studies and Media. Due to the sensitive subject matter, teachers should establish ground rules for class discussion about Silent No More including:
- listen without interrupting;
- respect one another's views;
- criticise ideas not individuals.
Running time: 3 x 45 mins episodes
