Filmmaker Selina Miles joins Popcorn Podcast to discuss her new documents Silenced. In Silenced, international human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson takes audiences inside the courtroom and behind the global headlines, to fight against the weaponisation of defamation laws by alleged perpetrators to silence survivors and journalists. In our chat, Selina shares how she adapted a fairly dense legal text to become her narrative documentary, why Jennifer Robinson is a national treasure, the importance of sitting in the uncomfortable, and the inspiration she feels from Amber Heard and Brittany Higgins.
