Rape. Face to face

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 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.
