Synopsis
In France, one woman in three experiences some kind of sexual harassment. Following the daily lives of the lawyers of the Association Européenne Contre les Violences Faites aux Femmes au Travail (AVFT), a European pressure group against violence towards women in the workplace, Sex, Lies and Harassment looks at the cases of four women who have been victims of sexual harassment at work, and explores its devastating effects. This documentary also sheds light on what motivates those who harass women, their grip on their victims and our politicians’ failure to tackle the issue.
