Ratings and reviews

For those of you craving a well done, intellectually stimulating film that is understated yet sufficiently empowering---look no further. This film only scratches the surface of what is happening across our nation's college campuses, but we get an inside look at the struggle of five student survivors who no longer remain silent about their sexual assaults. Rather than remain anonymous, they identify themselves of survivors not only of sexual violence but also of the victimization and dehumanization they experienced by their college administration. Informative and hauntingly powerful, this film not only demonstrates the strength of these five women and the movement their apart of, but the flawed rape tolerant society we live in.
