Ask E Jean new documentary on the women who beat Trump in court. Interview Director Ivy Meeropol

Recorded just a day before the Department of Justice announced their criminal investigation into the E. Jean Carroll case. In this powerful new episode of Westdoc Online, Chuck Braverman sits down with acclaimed filmmaker Ivy Meeropol for an in‑depth conversation about her riveting new documentary Ask E. Jean. Drawing from candid behind‑the‑scenes stories, Ivy discusses her six‑year journey gaining access to E. Jean Carroll, the challenges of financing and producing a politically charged film, and the surprising, often shocking details about Carroll’s life and legal battles that mainstream coverage never revealed. The episode also explores Ivy’s broader body of work—including her deeply personal Heir to an Execution—and offers a rare look at the creative, legal, and emotional complexities behind one of the most talked‑about documentaries of the year.
