ANITA tells the story about a young, brilliant African American Anita Hill who accuses the Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of unwanted sexual advances during explosive Senate Hearings in 1991 and ignites a political firestorm about sexual harassment, race, power and politics that resonates 20 years later today. ANITA is a dramatic look at the consequences to a private citizen acting out of a civic duty to 'speak truth to power.' For the first time on film Anita Hills speaks about her experience in the Senate Hearings, her impact on issues of sexual harassment, workplace rights for women and men, social justice and equality.

Watching this live in 1991 and watching the film was a powerful look at the ultimate white misogynistic mens club putting a woman to task for airing her story of sexual harrassment in the workplace. It felt like emotional rape then and still does.
Had forgotten Joe Biden was the head of this committee.
