- DirectorJohn O'KaneBen AnthonyStarsJack Brett AndersonSkye BennettJordan BolgerA specially written drama about a sexual encounter and are put to the test to see if they can work out if it is consensual sex or if a crime has been committed.watched. Party/peer rape. A BBC TV show made a mini-movie about a rape case, showed it to a group of youths, and asked them what they thought; At the end a judge came and explained the legal definition of rape.
This is where I watched it (23min), but it's been cut short:

I don't know where to find access to the full show. - DirectorAniruddha Roy ChowdhuryStarsAmitabh BachchanTaapsee PannuKirti KulhariWhen three young women are implicated in a crime, a retired lawyer steps forward to help them clear their names.haven't watched. Party rape (attempted). It's about rape culture and "no means no." It's a famous movie about a lawyer helping three girls winning a rape case. One of the three girls smashed a glass bottle on a boy's head when he tried to rape her but then the girl was arrested. In the court there goes on a huge debate about victim blaming, consent, "asking for it".
- DirectorJessica SharzerStarsKristen StewartElizabeth PerkinsRichard HagermanA teenager is traumatized into silence after a disastrous summer party.watched. Party/date/peer rape. About self-curing. The main theme is "Don't stay silent. If you wanna fight for your rights, you need to speak up." This is the kind of rape that's most typical in students' life, but I think it's too optimistic, because everyone treated her badly only because they didn't know she was raped and after she spoke up everyone believed her.
- DirectorBrian HillStarsAnna MadeleyDaniel MaysDaniel RyanWork colleagues Becky and Steve get drunk at a work party at an up-market hotel and end up having sex. She claims it was rape; he claims it was consensual. A mock trail follows in which a jury of ordinary people, real barristers, solicitors and a judge hear the resulting case.watched part. Party/date rape. This case went to court, I guess there will be much debate about consent in it. But I heard that at the end the rape itself was shown and left the audience to decide whether it was really a rape or not, so I'm a bit worried about the ending.
Can't find access to the full movie but part of it is available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMoWlKx4wD8 - DirectorBonni CohenJon ShenkStarsRobin BourlandDaisy ColemanCharles ColemanA look at the effects that online bullying has on the lives of teenagers and their community.haven't watched. Party rape. A Netflix documentary about a case in the US. The victim was bullied in life and online after she speaks out.
- DirectorWei-Ming WangStarsAmber KuoVivian HsuAlyssa Chia22 year old Bai arrives in a small town of Taiwan to pursue a Masters degree in music. She is quickly involved in a weird relationship with her teacher, Lee, which slowly turns into a dominated dependence. One night, Bai's friend, Mu-hung, a young innocent student tells her his feeling and tries to kiss her. That same night Bai tries to commit suicide. A diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder makes Wang, a teacher of the University, decide to help Bai. Wang's old friend Fang, a notorious shyster, steps in. While the entire University takes the side of Lee, Pai herself is confused and not sure if Lee did something wrong. But Wang and Fang decide to get justice for her.haven't watched. Rape by a professor. The college student was forced into a sexual relationship with her charismatic professor. She got deep depression and started unconscious self-injury. When things were exposed, other students all think the professor was the victim and she was a bitch. This case went to court.
- DirectorLee Su-jinStarsChun Woo-heeJung In-sunKim So-youngHan Gong-Ju transfers to a new school to escape her past. It takes a long time for her troubled past to catch up with her but when it does, the revelation is devastating.watched. Gang rape. Adopted from a real case. Basically about revictimization, the girl was harrassed by the parents of her rapists even after she changed school. Nothing about consent involved.
- DirectorKirby DickStarsAndrea PinoAnnie ClarkClaire PotterAn exposé of rape crimes on U.S. college campuses, their institutional cover-ups, and the devastating toll they take on students and their families.watched. Peer rape. A documentary nominated for Oscar. Basically about the pervasiveness of rape on US college campus and how the colleges just cover things up. The Lady Gaga song "Till it happens to you" was written for this.
- DirectorJennifer BaumgardnerStarsAndrea BaumgardnerLisa BrunnerStaceyann ChinRape is wrong, illegal, and reprehensible-and yet still tragically common. In this film, eight women tell their diverse personal stories of sexual assault, from a Midwestern teenager trying alcohol for the first time to a Native American woman gradually coming to terms with her abusive childhood. Gripping and emotional, this film is an opportunity to empathize with people-not just absorb faceless statistics-and to puncture the silence and denial that allow sexual assault to thrive. Ultimately, their stories shed light on how this epidemic affects us all.haven't watched. Different kinds of rape but all by acquaintances. It interviewed 6 (or 8?) different survivors. I feel like it will cover a large range of issues. But the disadvantage of it is that the whole film is just talking talking talking, few pauses or other forms of narration.
Oh actually it's fully available online: http://www.imdb.com/videoplayer/vi3552618009
