Abstract

The film Rape Is. takes the audience on a powerful journey of feeling, contemplation, and education about sexual violence. The viewers walk away from the film with some key educational components. They learn that rape is a prevalent and damaging crime that affects people of all backgrounds. The audience also sees that perpetrators vary in relationship to survivor as well as in demographics and method of force. Viewers also learn the emotional, cognitive, relational, and physical effects of rape. There is a need for effective educational materials on rape prevention and intervention. This film helps to fill the need for these resources.
