Synopsis:
Olimpia Coral Melo never sought to become a feminist icon. The humiliation she suffered after her intimate video went viral pushed her to want to give up her own name. For thirteen years, she campaigned to pass a law against digital sexual violence in Mexico. Today, as the Olimpia Law spreads powerfully throughout Latin America, she must reconcile with her wounds and reclaim the name that shame tried to tear away from her.
