Runs 90 minutes

This is a documentary about sexual assaults on college campuses and how the students and families are affected in the aftermath.

I liked this documentary. It is informative and backed up by many face-to-face interviews and statistics. The overall theme is that Universities are a "Hunting Ground" for sexual predators. But, the Universities prefer to overlook sexual assaults on their campuses because that scares potential students and donors. The main complaint I have heard about this film is that it is very one-sided. Only the victims are shown in the film. They discuss what happened to them and how they were treated from their perspective. There are a few interviews with professors, but nothing from the standpoint of the accused. Still, the statistics appear staggering. It is very interesting and at least opens your eyes to potential dangers for young girls (or boys) going out into the world. A must see for any family of teenage girls. At least it should make them more vigilant and aware when they are out on their own. And, maybe realize that wild drinking and partying can be bad for you on multiple levels.
