This is a profound honor. Our heartfelt thanks to the entire team at @PeabodyAwards for this recognition and to the brilliant community of people, especially survivors, who lent their time, talent, and stories to this film. Thank you.
"In this film, we seek to send a clear message to survivors that they matter, that we as a nation will do everything possible to bring them a path to healing and justice, and that their perpetrators will be held accountable for their crimes." —@Mariska#IAMEVIDENCE

Support survivors who report.
Support survivors who don't.
Support survivors who aren't sure what to do.
Support survivors who don't feel safe reporting.
Support survivors who fear retraumatization.
Support survivors who are taking it one day at a time.
