There Are No Words

My short film ‘There Are No Words’ is an artistic recreation of Chanel’s victim impact statement, expressed through the diverse lens of many different women from all walks of life.
In 2015, a young woman was sexually assaulted by Brock Turner. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to only six months in prison, serving only three of those months. The young woman initially went by the name ‘Emily Doe’ but eventually made the personal choice to no longer be anonymous and go by her actual name. Her name is Chanel Miller. Her victim impact statement that she wrote and read during the sentencing hearing for Brock Turner was and is one of the most powerful statements I have ever read. I knew that as many people as possible should see and hear her words.
