You may only know her from those few minutes in a dressing room where she was assaulted by Donald Trump, who has himself relentlessly lied about what happened there and slandered the woman who, after years of telling only those closest to her of his crime, finally sought justice–and won. Repeatedly.

But Ivy Meeropol, in her new documentary, “Ask E. Jean” provides a much fuller story: How E. Jean, after years on a Montana ranch, trying to place her writing, finally arrived in New York at nearly 40 years of age, and then successfully pursued a journalistic career: writing for some of the dominant magazines in an age of magazines; hosting a call-in television show awarded her by Roger Ailes(!); and even serving a season as a writer on SNL. Ultimately, we see a woman who over the course of decades, emboldened by the me too movement, learns to redefine what constitutes “courage.”

“Ask E. Jean” has recently been acquired by Abramorama.
