8legs: Miriam shor

#1 out of 1

Miriam Shor Signed an NDA. Then She Decided to Make a Whole Documentary About Them.

Miriam Shor and Juliane Dressner co-direct a feature documentary about how NDAs silence people and shape personal stories.
The film, My NDA, follows three subjects from different industries as they face NDAs and the decision to possibly break them.
Shor's personal experience with an NDA that silenced her informs the documentary’s focus on emotional cost.
The project evolved during the pandemic, with Dressner doubting NDA-driven stories at first but later joining the effort.
The documentary highlights the human cost of being legally gagged and weighs personal morals against legal threats.
NDAs are shown as increasingly common even in ordinary agreements, such as residential leases.
The film includes anonymized participant 'Jane' to protect someone amid ongoing litigation.
SXSW screening will determine distribution plans outside the festival circuit.
The subjects include Ashley Kostial, Ifeoma Ozoma, and Lachlan Cartwright, each tied to notable NDA-related stories.
The filmmakers tracked developments over several years, balancing interview access with legal risk for participants.
