Showing results for "The Bear" in Women's Studies

1542. A French noblewoman is left abandoned on a small island north of Nova Scotia. She has a crossbow, arquebuses and gunpowder. The island is populated only by wild beasts. She may be pregnant at this time. Centuries later, whilst mothering her young children, a woman begins writing what she believes to be a television script about the life of Marguerite de la Rocque and her incredible story of survival against the odds. As she draws closer to the nature of Marguerite, the woman begins to question her ability to tell this story.

In 2020, Georgia Harrison's world was ripped apart when her ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear shared intimate footage of her online without consent. But this is not a sad story - it's a story about the power of hope, a journey to justice, and a rallying cry for change. Thanks to Georgia's trailblazing and courageous campaign, Bear was found guilty of revenge porn, voyeurism, and two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress. This culminated in a 21-month jail sentence, a ruling that has been widely celebrated as a huge win for women.
