Summary
This highly charged documentary examines the causes and consequences of rape, one of the fastest growing crimes in America. It includes an emotional confrontation between rapists and victims of rape (though not by these particular men). The women reveal the depth of the trauma they sustained. The men, who are in therapy at the Washington State Hospital, seem surprised at the deep emotional wounds that the women experienced. The documentary provides an understanding of the thought processes and behavior patterns of violent sex offenders. The program implies that the complex issue of rape is inextricably bound to the value our society places on power, status and the role of women. Suggested audience: psychology, sociology, counseling, rape crisis centers, hospitals, women s groups.
