A 2007 study of sexual assault on college campuses found that one in every five women have been sexually assaulted in college. The documentary film The Hunting Ground takes on the issue of rape on college campuses. Much of the film depicts the stories of women and some men who were rpaed on campus and often denied justice by the universities where the rapes took place. Film contributor Milos Stehlik and Kirby Dick, the writer and director of The Hunting Ground, join us to discuss the film and the issue of sexual assault on campus.
