Inspired by a true story, in 2006 Mallory Newell (names changed) was sexually assaulted on her 21st birthday. The next day she underwent a painful rape kit exam to collect clinical evidence. The police shelved her rape kit and evaded her for three years. Valerie continued to advocate for other survivor's rights, when she is called upon to become the key witness in the 2010 Senate Hearing. In the moments before she testifies, she musters the strength to re-live what got her to where she sits now, at the podium to speak in one of the greatest courts of the US, her voice finally heard.
