April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness month, WMM is offering an exclusive free 10 day preview of IT WAS RAPE, our latest title on sexual assault.*
"IT WAS RAPE will change the way you think about this most terrible and most everyday of crimes.
It's heartrending, brave, and important."
Katha Pollitt, The Nation
IT WAS RAPE gives human faces and voices to statistics, breaking through the silence, denial and victim blaming that allow an epidemic to thrive.The Hunting Ground has newly sparked national conversation surrounding campus sexual assault. U.S. sexual assault statistics are startling, and have remained unchanged for decades; college students have some of the highest rates of sexual assault.
By award-winning feminist author, filmmaker and activist
Jennifer Baumgardner (Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, & the Future and F 'em! Goo Goo, Gaga, & Some Thoughts on Balls), this documentary engages audiences in a needed dialogue about the prevalence of sexual assaults in the U.S., at our schools and colleges, and the elements promoting rape culture on and off campus.
IT WAS RAPE has screened at over 300 venues across the United States and Canada. To schedule a screening at your college, university, or community center for Sexual Assault Awareness Month and beyond, please get in touch!
