Judy Comer's original "Preliminary Evidence" is scheduled for filing on February 28!

Today, the original "preliminary proof" stage documentary film released a fixed file trailer and poster, and Guan Xuan will be released on February 28. Starring Emmy winner Jodie Comer, the film features a 109-minute high-concentration emotional output monologue in which Tessa, a female lawyer, is torn apart from a legal defender to a victim of sexual assault, breaking the boundaries between the stage and the screen with delicate monologues and body language, while shouting sharply and directly for women. Since its premiere in 2022, the original stage play "preliminary proof" has swept the world's reputation, won many international awards such as Oliver Award and Tony Award, and set a new box office record in the form of NT Live, with a high score of 9.6 in Douban.

Women's issues! Hit the social pain point

The film revolves around Judy Cuomo's role as criminal defense lawyer Tessa. As a top lawyer, Tessa has never failed and firmly believes that the law and the system will make the verdict closest to the truth. Until she became a victim one night, Tessa was greatly shaken by the "truth under the law" that she had always believed in.

After getting drunk, Tessa explicitly rejected her male colleagues, but she was still assaulted. After going through a great deal of pain, Tessa chose to call the police and take the offender to court. As a lawyer, Tessa is very familiar with the trial process. She knows that the chances of winning the case are slim. She knows that the opposing lawyer will find the flaw in her statement, and the jury will not believe her at all. But she is still willing to open the scar, still standing in the courtroom shouting out the voice of women, in the face of thousands of women behind, she firmly believes that something must be changed.

In the film, while we are brought into the legal world through Tessa's perspective, we go further into the subtle place of women's inner world. The film not only focuses on the difficulty of self-proof of sexual assault victims in the judicial system, but also exposes the structural oppression of legal procedures on women's rights and interests, and leads to a deep reflection on issues such as "burden of proof" and "unequal power".

**must be changed! Spread the spark of hope

Some things have to change! The enlightening cry in the film is not only of awakening significance to women, but also shows us different but extremely powerful female forces in the blanks-female interns who insist on the truth and choose to give up their internship; wearing ill-fitting uniforms, but holding out their hands to warm policewomen when Tessa is alone and helpless. A female victim who endures sharp questioning from lawyers in court just to protect other women from harm. Although these women have differences in age and identity, they release the same precious and warm light in helping women, leaving a spark that can start a prairie fire.

As the only film to be released on the big screen in the form of NTLive in China, "preliminary proof" will take you 100 minutes to take you from the cinema to the theater to watch Judy Cuomo's shocking monologue and feel the enlightening cry of women and the power to break through the screen.

Since its release abroad, "preliminary proof" has gained numerous acclaim with its self-cutting narrative and fiery performance. "full of power", "touching" and "social topic" have become the key words of the film. After Guan Xuan was introduced to the mainland, he also reaped the full expectations of the domestic audience. I believe that on February 28, every audience who walks into the cinema will be able to find their own strength and emotion from this film.

It is reported that this film is imported by China Film Group Corporation, translated by Changying Group Translation Film production Co., Ltd., and released by Huaxia Film Distribution Co., Ltd., which will be released on February 28th.
