"The Hunting Ground, a documentary shocker about rape on college campuses, is a must-watch work of cine-activism." -- Manohla Dargis, New York Times
"Any parent sending a child off to college should consider this required viewing."
-- New York Magazine
"A searing look at the failure of American universities to grapple successfully with campus rape." -- National Public Radio
Amy Ziering is an Academy Award-nominated and Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker who works with Kirby Dick. She has appeared on CNN, MSNBC, The Daily Show and The Today Show. Their last documentary, The Invisible War, broke the story about the epidemic of rape in the military, spurring Congress and the Pentagon to institute long overdue reforms.
Their book contains exceptionally illuminating essays by Caitlin Flanagan, Roxane Gay, Andrew O'Hehir, D. Watkins, Wendy Levy, Kirby Dick and others, showing why the violence continues, what else can be done to stop it, and how students, faculty and alumni are at last standing up to their institutions to demand change.
"We must and we can change the culture, so that no abused woman or man...feels they ever have to ask themselves, What did I do? They did nothing wrong."
-- Vice President Joe Biden, at the 2016 Academy Awards
In addition to The Hunting Ground and The Invisible War, which won two 2014 Emmy Awards for Best Documentary and Outstanding Investigative Journalism and was nominated for an Oscar, AMY ZIERING was the Producer of OUTRAGE an indictment of the hypocrisy of powerful, closeted politicians and the institutions that protect them.
