Why you should watch this movie

When reading the reviews for this film, a lot of the problems our society is facing today become obvious. There is a lot of victim shaming and people citing these girls as liars or attention whores. This could not be further from the truth. To dismiss these women for having the courage to say what happened to them is despicable. Rape culture is alive and well in this country, and there is no excuse for it. Victims should not be asked what they were wearing or what they had to drink. How is any of this relevant to the fact that they were assaulted? Anyone who points the finger at a victim is deplorable. Watch this movie and stand with these women. They deserve our support.
