Annotation
Depicting the occurrence of a sexual assault incident, this film makes viewers witnesses to the interactions between a rapist and his victim.
Abstract
The shockingly realistic film is designed to demonstrate the crisis a woman experiences in a rape situation. While not visually explicit, the language and actions depicted can be distasteful and disturbing for both male and female viewers, who should be warned before the presentation. The film concludes with the introduction of two police officers who proceed to interrogate the victim about what she has just been through.
