Backlash: Misogyny in the Digital Age profiles four women and one man whose lives have been devastated by online violence. The documentary features Laura Boldrini, former President of the Italian Parliament; Kiah Morris, an African-American politician from Vermont; Marion Séclin, a French YouTuber who received more than 40,000 sexist messages; Laurence Gratton, a young teacher in Quebec harassed for over five years by a former colleague; and Glen Canning, whose daughter took her own life after photos of her rape were spread online. The documentary highlights how they are all fighting the same battle. They share a common cause: refusing to be silent and demanding widespread accountability from tech giants, the state, and perpetrators
