The Hunting Ground, 2015
Kirby Dick, Writer/Director & Amy Ziering, Producer
The statistics are staggering. One in five women in college are sexually assaulted, yet only a fraction of these crimes are reported, and even fewer result in punishment for the perpetrators. From the intrepid team behind Academy Award Nominated The Invisible War, comes The Hunting Ground, a piercing, monumental exposé of rape culture on campuses, poised to light a fire under a national debate.
This screening is for women and men. The intention is not to divide, but to come together to discuss sexual assualt, why and how it happens, and what can be done. It’s recommended for parents of girls and boys, high school students, and college students.
The movie begins at 7 pm and it’s 103 minutes. We will facilitate a short discussion following the film and the night will end by or before 9 pm. This is a one-night, one-time showing.

| 0:35.1 | So listen in and hope you enjoy it. |
| 0:37.3 | More thoughtful than certainly my generation was. You know, like they, and they're, |
| 0:42.6 | they take care of one another and they designate drivers for real, you know? |
| 0:47.0 | Yeah, totally. |

| 1:06.9 | There's nothing different about these kids that you can't say 100 years ago. |
| 1:10.4 | I mean, aside from obviously technology stuff, but, you know, all kids are great and we just forget |
| 1:16.5 | that they're great. I don't, we're jealous of them. Maybe to your point. I feel like there's an envy there. |
