The latest episode of The Sounds of Film spotlights Ask E. Jean, a powerful new documentary directed by Ivy Meeropol. The film takes viewers on a journey through the extraordinary life of journalist, advice columnist, and cultural icon E. Jean Carroll.
Known for her fearless voice and sharp wit, Carroll has lived a life that reflects both the struggles and triumphs of women redefining their roles in media, culture, and society. The film explores Carroll’s extraordinary career—from her groundbreaking work in journalism to her legal battles against Donald Trump, where she became the only woman to defeat him in court twice.
Ask E. Jean is set to screen at the Hamptons International Film Festival on October 4th at 2:15, and October 5th at 5:00, giving audiences on Long Island the opportunity to experience this compelling portrait on the big screen.
In this episode, host Tom Needham speaks with the director about the making of the film and the inspiration behind bringing such a remarkable story to the screen. The discussion highlights the artistry, challenges, and creative process of telling a story that blends personal history, cultural commentary, and moments of courage.
