Roll Red Roll

I was first asked to see a viewing of this film for extra credit in my Human Sexuality class, but I would honestly watch it again. This film is so insightful in regards to rape culture and toxic masculinity in American society. It does an excellent job of diverting the attention from the survivor and really honing in on the perpetrators who were at fault. Highly recommend if there is a screening in your area!!Sexuality

This is a very good documentary about a problem much more pervasive than most people realize. I know that in my midwestern hometown, the same thing could easily have happened when I was in high school decades ago--except then the girl almost certainly wouldn't have reported being assaulted, realizing that even if she did, the school, parents and police probably would have "hushed it up" to protect the all-important football team, and she would have most likely gotten "slut-shamed" besides.

And all the one-star reviews here? Click on the relevant users' names, and you'll find that "mysteriously," none of them ever seem to have reviewed another title on IMBD. Yeah, I guess some folk are still invested in covering up this incident, and revising the history that the documentary chronicles. Too little, too late, folks.

Only in America! And it takes a BBC documentary to showcase this dirty town.

I'm a fella , I was a young lad once and I was no angel but we never considered behaving like the filth on show in this. The boys on video made my skin crawl and if it had been my sister no sheriff or judge or justice or whatever would have passed sentence before myself and my mates.

It really is a case of money buying justice, the principle and coaching staff should be jailed for enabling.

What a craphole of country . Not even 3rd world

Sometimes it is difficult to offer an objective opinion of a film, when the content fills you with rage - Roll Red Roll is one of those films. The film tries to offer information that is publicly available in a manner that wants to offer both sides of the subject, but then pulls back and decides 'We're Going To Shame All Residents Of Steubenville, Ohio'. In my opinion, Roll Red Roll did not go far enough in portraying Steubenville, Ohio as a dirty, filthy place full of dirty, filthy people. What the criminals in this film do not realize - They have been marked by Anonymous, and they will be marked for life.

Weird title though or at least I'm not sure what "hidden" message it contains. Whatever the case the documentary is not an easy watch. The whole argument that women are to blame for actions men take is beyond disgusting. Especially when it comes to consent.

The topic itself is quite horrendous and it will trigger some people to say some incredibly sexist and disgusting things. But while there may be other cases with gray areas, this one was so crystal clear you do wonder ... well actually the film takes a lot of the questions away. There is the "boys will be boys" and "let's not ruin their career over some minor thing". If you feel sick when hearing or even reading this, it means you have a certain amount of decency. I think I've seen something that also had the topic or rather the same "event" and explored it, but this was almost going further, showing depths that you really don't want to see or explore in other human beings ...
