Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here.
If you were brave enough to watch 2012 Oscar-nominated documentary THE INVISIBLE WAR, which threw a much-needed spotlight on sexual assault in the military, it may have been easier to bury deep in your head the disturbing facts brought to light in that haunting film if you don't actually know a woman in the military. The team that brought that film together—producer Amy Ziering and director Kirby Dick—have now expertly exposed the epidemic that is sexual assaults and the precision cover-ups that are happening at collect campuses across the nation in their latest work, THE HUNTING GROUND. And the odds seem better that you might know a young woman who went to college, so no more burying your head in the sand on this issue.
What is both surprising and pleasantly surprising about the approach THE HUNTING GROUND takes to its admittedly difficult subject is that it isn't afraid to name names. A fairly sizable number of colleges and universities are called out, not so much for being unsafe places for women to attend but for outright unacceptable policies regarding reporting and investigating of sex crimes, and punishing the offenders in a timely or suitable manner.
