Ask E. Jean

Ask E. Jean
dir. Ivy Meeropol/USA/2025/91 min

Witty, fearless, and candid journalist and columnist (Elle) E. Jean Carroll spent her life urging women to speak their truth. In 2019, she accused Donald Trump of sexual assault and defamation, winning twice in court. E. Jean Carroll began as an American cheerleading pageant winner. She was the first woman to hold editorial positions at “Esquire”, “Playboy”, and “Outside”, and to be a columnist for “Elle”. She helped define the role of women in media with her sharp wit and fearless voice. In recent years, she reignited public debate, twice defeating Donald Trump in court and sparking a conversation about truth, accountability, and resilience. The film is a portrait of an indomitable woman who proved that it is never too late to reclaim your voice, rewrite your story, and change the world.
