Pizza Party

Directed by Tessa Hope Slovis
United States
2020
12 mins

Based on a true event preceding the Larry Nassar trials, an unlikely pair come together at a dystopian pizza party for sexual assault survivors. #42; A quiet high schooler meets #1; a quick-witted litigator due with her first child any day now. Through solidarity, #42, #1 and every woman in the room begin to reconcile with and acknowledge the innocence that was taken away from them, opening a portal into a dream-like world of fury and strength.
