Ask E. Jean

Book Now Book Now

If you only know E. Jean Carroll as Donald Trump’s nemesis, there’s much more to discover and admire about this remarkable woman. A trailblazing journalist, author, and for years a beloved advice columnist at Elle. Carroll broke barriers as the first female editor at Esquire, Playboy, and Outside, helping to redefine women’s roles in media with her sharp wit and fearless voice. In recent years, she reignited public discourse by standing up to power, becoming the only woman to beat Donald Trump twice in court, and sparking a national conversation about truth, accountability, and resilience.

Carroll is a phenomenally compelling subject, and her magnetic, joyful presence at the center of the film holds it together.
