Gender, Sexuality, & Fem Studies
In response to learning about the suicides of several teen girls who had experienced slut-shaming and bullying, filmmaker Emily Lindin, herself a victim of sexual shaming, decided to publish her diaries from age 11 to 14 online. From this, the Unslut project and 40-minute documentary evolved. The film includes stories from people of different genders, backgrounds and nationalities.
