Beth De Araújo's masterful and devastating drama Josephine won the top dramatic grand jury prize and the audience award at Sundance Film Festival

In a stunning child performance, Mason Reeves plays 8-year-old Josephine who witnesses a sexual assault in a park while out with her father Damien (Channing Tatum). In the aftermath, while suffering from the effects of the trauma, Josephine seeks to understand what she has witnessed and the part she has to play in the search for justice.

"A harrowing, poignant study on the poison of gender-based brutality that rejects sentimentality to challenge our normalisation of female fear." — Stefania Sarrubba, The Skinny
