Customer Reviews
Incredible reporting
What a brilliant podcast. Incredible and profound reporting by Cara. Thank you for bringing this story to light and for sharing the voices of these women with me! Riveting, could not switch it off.
Very good
Important podcast on police tactics and attitudes towards women and activism. Let’s hope the public inquiry is not the place where this issue dies.
FTP
Brilliant & devastating. Keep the truth coming. Condolences to the women impacted by this violent misogyny & complete lack of personal moral compass on the behalf of the men / police. Every action is a choice. FTP.
