Film screening: The Hunting Ground

​From Academy nominated director Kirby Dick comes a​n exposé of rape crimes on U.S. college campuses, their institutional cover-ups, and the devastating toll they take on students and their families. The statistics are staggering. One in five female college students in the USA are sexually assaulted, yet only a fraction of these crimes are reported, and even fewer result in punishment for the perpetrator. This film explores the unfolding story of the​ female students​ and those who are fighting back. Hunting Ground is part of the Stronger than Fiction Documentary Film Festival.

​There will be a Q & A after the screening with Loren Ovens, Women's Officer ANU and Chrystina Stanford, CEO,  Canberra Rape Crisis​ Centre. Trailer and tickets available here.
