The Sundance Institute has announced that the world premiere of Doug Liman’s documentary film Justice will take place in the Special Screenings section of the current Sundance Film Festival. Tickets for the live screening of the documentary, which will take place on January 20 at 8:30 p.m. MT, are now available.
Liman’s debut documentary film, Justice, examines the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh in greater detail. When Kavanaugh was nominated to the Supreme Court in 2018, the allegations first surfaced after Christine Blasey Ford, a former classmate, accused him of rape at a high school party. After the FBI declared that there was no evidence to back up the claims, the inquiry was eventually ended. The investigation will continue to be discussed in the documentary. Interviews with individuals who have been directly linked to the allegations are included, along with previously unseen material.
The documentary would pick up “where the FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh fell catastrophically short,” according to a statement by Liman. He expresses gratitude to everyone who helped him with his work and goes into greater detail about what to anticipate:
“It shouldn’t be this hard to have an open and honest conversation about whether or not a Justice on the Supreme Court assaulted numerous women as a young man. Thanks to this fantastic investigative team and the brave souls who trusted us with their stories, ‘Justice’ picks up where the FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh fell woefully short. The film examines our judicial process and the institutions behind it, highlighting bureaucratic missteps and political power grabs that continue to have an outsized impact on our nation today. Sundance gave me and countless other independent filmmakers our big breaks, so it’s especially meaningful for me to return with my first documentary.”
Director of Programming at the Sundance Film Festival, Kim Yutani, continued:
“We were fortunate to see Justice later in the programming process and were moved by its resolve to raise questions and provoke dialogue. Documentaries have always been a crucial aspect of the essence of Sundance and reflect the influential power of storytelling. We are honored to amplify this impactful work that dares to challenge through the addition of Doug Liman’s film.”
Liman had steered justice. Executive producers Liz Garbus and Dan Kogan of Story Syndicate worked with Amy Herdy to produce the film. It joins the festival’s jam-packed lineup of 111 films overall from 28 different nations. Throughout the year, the money from ticket sales will help up-and-coming artists through “targeted laboratories, direct grants, scholarships, residencies, and more.”
At 8:30 p.m. MT on January 20 at Sundance, Justice makes its debut. The current Sundance Film Festival continues in Salt Lake City through January 29. Online streaming of a few films will start on January 24 and run until January 29.
