THE HUNTING GROUND

"Triumphant...a stirring call to action." - Indiewire

"An unblinking look at sexual assaults on campus." - The New York Times

From the team behind THE INVISIBLE WAR, comes a startling exposé of rape crimes on U.S. campuses, institutional cover-ups and the brutal social toll on victims and their families. Weaving together verité footage and first-person testimonies, the film follows survivors as they pursue their education while fighting for justice - despite harsh retaliation, harassment and pushback at every level.
