action
Officer Paula Coughlin is a Navy pilot and proudly wears her uniform. But when she reports that her colleagues almost raped her while she was drunk, she is not heard. A corresponding internal investigation even hushed up the incident. Angry, she turns to the press. Barbara Pope intervenes on behalf of the government and in the course of her research it becomes clear that women are systematically treated this way from time to time because they are not welcome. In the worst case, such incidents are viewed there as petty offenses, whereby the women who become victims of these acts remain silent because they are afraid of being removed by the Navy because of it.
The investigations thus develop into a solid, public scandal in which several admirals even have to take their hats because they did nothing about it. The Navy is reformed over the women's treatment scandal, but Paula does not get justice over what happened and is harassed for reporting that she has to leave the Navy. Still, her father is proud of her for what she has done, and she is secretly admired by the women in the Navy for her courage.
background
The film is based on the Tailhook scandal . That was a US American political affair from 1991/1992, which resulted from sexual excesses at the 35th Tailhook Symposium, which was attended mainly by naval aviators, from May 5th to 8th. Developed September 1991 in Las Vegas. Lt. Paula Coughlin was the most famous sacrifice because she made it public.
criticism
“Successful balance: enlightening and captivating; The film after the 'Tailhook scandal' of 1991 has more depth than the Reisser title suggests. "
"Drama about sexual harassment at work and the mentality of a male society that dismisses such incidents as petty offenses."
