This will probably be the longest review of a movie I will ever write. There have been a very few documentaries that made me so mad I could not go to sleep. "The Hunting Ground" is one of them. It is a documentary made by two female students who were both raped in their freshman year at colleges. It demonstrated very well how the majority of students who are raped are labeled the "bad guy." It also demonstrates that the MAJORITY of universities will simply crucify a female if she tries to allege rape by one of their golden boys, i.e. the athlete. I'll get to that aspect in much more detail in just a minute. The longer I watched, the madder I became. What really floored me is the majority of universities who have the WORST reputation for this disgusting behavior come from the IVY LEAGUE. Harvard and Dartmouth are two examples.
I went through the other reviews because I wanted to gauge what people thought about this type of behavior which has apparently been going on for a while and in most cases is encouraged by local fraternities. A reviewer who called himself Unclegerald-2004 labeled this documentary a "feminist marketing tool," and gave it 1 star. Scott-840-526147 decried "political trash," and gave it 1 star. UFLawGrad1989 heavily bashed the two girls involved (especially with regard to the Jameis Winston case) because they alleged things they couldn't possibly prove by a preponderance of the evidence. He gave it 2 stars. Overall, it would seem the majority of MALES, did not care for this.
When you can prove to me ANY college or university that allows a fraternity to stand outside a women's dorm shouting, "No means Yes; Yes means anal" and does NOTHING about this behavior has the best interest of females at heart, you're full of crap. I will not go into the evidence about Jameis Winston except to say to the UFLawGrad, I'm sorry you're now probably working at Denny's.
This should be REQUIRED viewing for any female. I encourage parents to sit down with their daughters AND sons, watch this, and then have a nice long discussion. It may save someone an awful lot of pain. This film is not rated and contains adult language. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
