Show by iHeartPodcasts

What if the biggest threat to college sexual assault victims wasn't just their attackers, but the universities that were supposed to protect them? Jennifer Fessler sits down with Emmy Award-winning producer Amy Ziering to revisit The Hunting Ground, the explosive documentary that exposed the disturbing reality of sexual assault on college campuses and the universities that looked the other way. Amy reveals how repeat offenders were able to continue assaulting women, how fraternity culture helped create environments where predators could thrive, and what happened to the survivors who dared to speak out. She also shares the heartbreaking stories that have stayed with her, why some victims never told their own families, and the backlash that followed those who came forward. More than a decade after the film's release, Amy explains why college rape culture is still a major problem, why progress is being rolled back, and whether universities have really changed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
