The Hunting Ground (2015), explores sexual assaults on college campuses. The film shows many survivors conveying their experience with sexual assault and how their colleges or universities has handled their trauma. This film also shows the psychological toll sexual assault has on the survivor as well as their families. Additionally, the film presents how institutions cover it up and/or present a penalty that is not fit for the crime. The specific trauma that has effected the survivors in the film is domestic violence and sexual trauma. The trauma from all of the survivors is very severe. It includes: Andrea, a Cuban America, who was a student at University of North Carolina (UNC) was sexually assaulted at an on-campus party. She recalls her head being banged up against the wall. Talking with friends, she found out that many other people were raped the same weekend she was. She did not want to talk about it, or admit that it happened. She had nightmares frequently. Annie, also a UNC student, is a white woman from suburban North Carolina. She was sexually assaulted before she started classes her freshman year. She did not report her sexual report because she did not know how to. Once a friend opened up to hear, and asked how to report, she then reported her sexual assault. She was able to speak to a faculty member, the faculty compared rape to football. Annie was then victim blamed. Kamilah, an African American law student at Harvard, also experienced a sexual assault.Show MoreRelatedAnalysis Of The Movie The Hunting Ground 1281 Words   |  6 PagesMayra Leon Fogg WS 135 Dr. Slagter Outside Event 1 4/24/15 The Hunting Ground For my outside event I chose to attend the screening of â€Å"The Hunting Ground† which was directed by Kirby Dick, who also directed the film, â€Å"The Invisible War†.
