Breaking ground. Men against rape

Description

The men in this film have one thing in common. They are committed to training men and women in rape prevention techniques. They feel that rape is not just a woman s problem, but a human problem of our violent culture. We see a variety of programs in which men play a major role, from in-school education to public service ad campaigns, to community self-defense programs. Several of the men express outrage at the abuse suffered by women they have known. Intercut with their call for action are the voices of women who have been victims. Breaking Ground dispels the stereotype of the male, often black, being abusive towards women.
