College Sexual Assault Documentary: “The Hunting Ground” | Piedmont

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The statistics are staggering: one in five college women is sexually assaulted, yet only a fraction of these crimes are reported, and even fewer result in punishment for the perpetrators. Federal government efforts to remedy this failure have opened a national conversation about sex and sexual assault on campus.

This film documents the reality behind those efforts. The Appreciating Diversity Film Series presents The Hunting Ground, by Academy Award nominated filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering, which chronicles the experiences of campus assault victims after they survive what they thought was the worst ordeal of their lives.

The film exposes the reality of sexual assault on college campuses in the United States–the frequency of assaults, the institutional cover-ups, and the emotional toll on the victims and their families. This acclaimed documentary, which made its debut earlier this year at Sundance, is a “must see” for all parents of college-bound high school students, as well as the students themselves.
