Event Description:
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and The Advocates is hosting a free screening of The Hunting Ground.....
The Hunting Ground is a startling exposé, about sexual assault on American college campuses and the failure of universities to address the problem. The film follows the lives of several undergraduate assault survivors as they attempt to pursue both their education and justice. These survivors travel across the country connecting with other survivors to offer support, compassion and legal aid. They have also inspired a national dialogue on the handling of campus assaults and launched a survivors’ network for women who refuse to be silenced.
The story behind the film has inspired music artist Lady Gaga and seven-time Academy Award®-nominee Diane Warren to write, and Lady Gaga to record, “Til It Happens to You,” an intensely moving song that calls for support and compassion for sexual assault survivors and is fast becoming an anthem for survivors around the world.
