Consent: The Louise Nicholas Story(2014)

Consent: The Louise Nicholas Story is a drama based on the memoir My Story, following a woman's fight for justice after reporting her rape by police officers in 1993. Louise Nicholas's accusations faced widespread skepticism, but a determined senior policeman and an investigative journalist worked to expose the truth. The film moves beyond media headlines to explore the personal toll of her battle, the family caught in the center of a scandal, and the institutional resistance she encountered. It's a story about silence, credibility, and one woman's refusal to let her assault be forgotten, grounded in New Zealand's real criminal justice failures.
