ANGELIKA’S NOTE

As tragically relevant as ever, Kirby Dick’s (THE INVISIBLE WAR, ON THE RECORD), brilliant documentary is an exposé of rape crimes and culture on college campuses across the United States, delving into institutional cover ups and the emotional toll on the students of these institutions. This documentary, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 93%, elevates the voices of sexual assault victims when they are so often silenced. Rolling Stone raves, "Documentary filmmaker Kirby Dick takes on the incendiary topic of rape on campus. As the cases mount and institutional reps succeed best by playing dumb, The Hunting Ground becomes an energizing call to action."

SYNOPSIS

From the makers of The Invisible War (2012) comes a startling exposé of rape crimes on U.S. college campuses, their institutional cover-ups and the devastating toll they take on students and their families. Weaving together verité footage and first-person testimonies, the film follows the lives of several undergraduate assault survivors as they attempt to pursue - despite incredible push back, harassment, and traumatic aftermath - both their education and justice.
