BEYOND: Surviving the Reality of Sexual Assault
This docu-drama clarifies the details that often surround acquaintance rape, with special attention paid to its repercussions for both parties involved. The program follows the two participants from their initial meeting, through the act itself, the medical, forensic, police, and court proceedings that follow. Particular attention is paid to the 'blame the victim' defense tactic that is often used in such cases in court. Not surprisingly the same thinking can often be found in the mind of the perpetrator. Viewers are also shown the victim's process of healing as it takes place through counseling and group support. This is an excellent tool to let both male and female viewers know that sex under pressure and threat has many unforeseen results for both victim and perpetrator.
