CNN
Here are four lessons the filmmaker learned about how we can all normalize conversations about abuse in the hope of stopping the cycle of shame and violence.
The 37-year-old actress and filmmaker fled her home country of Serbia in 2012 to come to the US after allegedly being sexually assaulted by a powerful and well-known man in the country. Serbian prosecutors declined to bring charges in her case. She told CNN she made the film to normalize conversations about sexual assault and abuse in the hope of stopping the cycle of shame and violence associated with it.
Venezuelan authorities are investigating opposition leader Maria Corina Machado for alleged treason after she expressed support for a US bipartisan bill that seeks to block Washington from doing business with any entity that has commercial ties with the government of Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro.
Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump’s pick to lead the intelligence community, was briefly placed on a Transportation Security Administration list that prompts additional security screening before flights after her overseas travel patterns and foreign connections triggered a government algorithm earlier this year, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
