The Hunting Ground (2015)
Highly Recommended Documentary About Sexual Assault on US College Campuses
10 March 2016 - 28 out of 65 users found this review helpful.
"The Hunting Ground" is a documentary about the widespread incidence of sexual assault on US college campuses which I, especially as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, found very moving as well as very enlightening.
It shows how power differentials, between victims/survivors and school administrations, and a drive by administrations to preserve a school's image and reputation if at all possible, combine to enable sexual assault on college campuses nationwide.
And it's about how the determination of two victims/survivors to change things for the better led to substantial intervention by the federal government to compel schools to begin taking the rights and needs of campus sexual assault victims/survivors seriously.
Highly recommended.
