The documentary follows the intimate stories of seven individuals who have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace or at school, and includes interviews with a writer's assistant on a top TV show, a Tech CEO and 911 dispatcher.

Edgar Ndjatou, Executive Director of Workplace Fairness, says, "Sexual harassment continues to be a scourge on our society and strips away victims' humanity. The Nevertheless documentary details the injustices that victims of sexual harassment at work and beyond experience while also giving us the resolve to commit ourselves to creating a world of empathy, fair treatment and inclusiveness. Sexual harassment that goes unchecked leaves victims vulnerable and should have no place in the way we treat one another."
