Academy Award-winning actor Javier Bardem and Children’s and Family Emmy Award-nominated actress Yasmin Finney star in SLAPP Suit.

Billionaire bullies and corporate polluters use Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP) to bury activists, journalists, whistleblowers, and non-profit organisations in legal fees, drain their time and resources, and ultimately make the cost of dissent too high.
