Statement
Even before I could step foot out of my house, I was already well versed in measures I should take to avoid sexual assault. This is a documentary that aims to provide catharsis in telling girls “Your paranoia is warranted, and it does not make you any less sensible. Your anxiety is universal, yet it does not make you any less brave”.
