The Hunting Ground Film Analysis

117 Words1 Page

Think rape and sexual assault cases are being handled seriously? 1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted while pursuing a higher level education. Even when sexual cases are reported, colleges suppress them, deliberately deny victims their trauma, and encourage the victims to "keep quiet" in order to preserve their institution 's reputation/brand. I recommend everyone (especially parents and future/current college students) to watch The Hunting Ground, an outstanding documentary regarding this current epidemic, found on Netflix and other sources. I couldn 't help but become infuriated while watching this documentary. My mom, Suzanne Davies, recommended this to me. Very informative and interesting on a current epidemic...A MUST SEE.

As the reader, we are informed on how the university, the police department, the district attorney’s office, and the community reacted to these rape and sexual assault allegations. We see how the criminal justice system has failed the victims, and are forced to live with what happened to them, while their assailants are free of any burden.
