SYNOPSIS

THE HUNTING GROUND (103 minutes, 2015) is a critically acclaimed US feature-length documentary by Oscar-nominated filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering. THE HUNTING GROUND chronicles the personal stories of students who have reported sexual assault on campuses, and the failure of a number of American universities to respond effectively and appropriately to these reports.

AUSTRALIAN OUTREACH CAMPAIGN

The Hunting Ground Australia Project (2015–2018) was highly effective in utilising the documentary THE HUNTING GROUND (2015) to create a collaborative, comprehensive and unified campaign around the incidence of, and responses to, sexual violence within Australian university communities.

Fact sheets, Action Toolkit, Screening Guide, Progress Reports and the final Evaluation are available on the project website.
