Actor Cynthia Erivo hopes the film adaptation of Suzie Miller's play 'Prima Facie' will spark conversations about sexual violence and accountability.
Erivo plays Tessa, a criminal defense barrister who faces sexual assault by a colleague, during the film's world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Director Susanna White and writer Suzie Miller emphasised the film's aim to enlist men into understanding the nuances of consent and mentorship.
