Beth de Ara\u00fajo\u2019s drama Josephine<\/a> starring Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan, about an\u00a08-year-old girl who accidentally witnesses a heinous crime in Golden Gate Park, took both the U.S. Dramatic Competition Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at the 2026 Sundance<\/a> Film Festival Awards.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a tearful acceptance speech during Friday\u2019s ceremony, de Ara\u00fajo said, \u201cIt\u2019s very hard to talk about rape. Even just saying the word makes people uncomfortable. But because of this, there are only leaves more shame and silence for survivors to cope with the effects alone. In order to honor survivors, we must try to understand the people who rape in an attempt to remedy from happening again. We have the resources, we just don\u2019t make it a priority. One in four women, one in six men. Rape culture is deeply woven into the fabric of this society. It is rooted in the idea that masculine, male, can dominate whatever they come across, because it\u2019s inherently theirs through violence. That is the very core belief of chauvinistic groups that have found favor among the highest ranks of this current administration.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s not a time to empathize or understand them, it\u2019s a time to stop them. When we tolerate rapists, look where it gets us. When these men go unchecked, their conviction and belief that they can do anything they want without consequence, runs rampant. I know you are scared; I\u2019m scared too. Now is the time to find courage by linking arms, holding your neighbors and loved ones tight; we are stronger together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe CAA and WME Independent co-repped feature stands at 97% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. <\/p>\n
