The thrilling story of E. Jean Carroll’s life, from her early days as Miss Cheerleader USA to her rise as a trailblazing journalist, author, and beloved advice columnist. In recent years, she reignited public discourse by standing up to power, becoming the only woman to beat Donald Trump twice in court, and sparking a national conversation about truth, accountability, and resilience. This film is a portrait of an indomitable woman who proved it’s never too late to reclaim your voice, rewrite your story, and change the world.

ASK E. JEAN - Tuesday, July 14th @ 1PM & 7PM at the State Theatre for TCFF Tuesdays!

📚REVIEW:
"How can one possibly fit the multiple electrifying lives that Carroll thrived in into 90-something compact minutes? Throughout her movie, Meeropol shows the way with panache, refusing to limit the main appeal of Carroll to her recent lawsuit wins against Trump."
- Tomris Laffly, Variety Magazine
