  "textContent": "Featuring the cases of Amber Heard, Gisèle Pelicot, Brittany Higgins, Colombian journalists at _Volcánicas_ and others, _Silenced_ traces a global pattern of defamation suits used to punish survivors and the reporters who amplify their stories.\n\nIt's a fitting but frustrating coda that _Silenced_ itself faced legal threats right after its festival premiere.\n\n**(This is one in a series of film reviews from the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, focused on films by women, trans or nonbinary directors that tell compelling stories about the lives of women and girls.)**\n\nThe post Sundance 2026: Documentary ‘Silenced’ Exposes How Defamation Suits Muzzle Survivors and Journalists appeared first on Ms. Magazine.",
