Winner of the Berlin Film Festival’s Crystal Bear prize, Beata Gårdeler’s haunting film, about a 14-year-old girl ostracized by her tight-knit community after accusing a classmate of rape, combines modern themes of consent and social media with a traditional witch-hunt tale to explore how truth can be exposed — or silenced.
"Flocking is a haunting, stunning, visceral experience. Beata Gårdeler's assured hand as director and Fatime Azemi's stirring performance draw us into a bleak world where we're forced to re-examine how our social systems treat victims of sexual assault."
