In an interview with Variety, Carroll and the film's director, Ivy Meeropol, discussed the project titled Ask E. Jean, which details Carroll's 2023 lawsuit in which a jury found that Trump had sexually abused and defamed her, as well as another lawsuit in which he was found liable for defaming her a second time.

Carroll described Meeropol as "the woman who studied Trump and what made him" with her 2019 film about the president's infamous mentor, Roy Cohn, and said the new documentary will be "a natural progression to finish Trump off."

Ask E. Jean features never-before-seen footage of Carroll's seven-hour deposition led by Alina Habba, Trump's attorney who currently works in the presidential administration.

Carroll said that "women will be astounded" by the "brutal" deposition, as Habba asked "if I screamed [during the assault] or not – over and over."

She also revealed that she continues to get harassed for going public with her claims against Trump, but added, "If that's the price, I'm willing to pay it."

Meeropol and Carroll are currently searching for a media company to purchase the film, and when asked if they were having trouble over fears of retaliation, Carroll claimed, "We are flying."
