The Hunting Ground

The Hunting Ground is a documentary about sexual assault at American universities and how the institutions respond to it. It examines the accounts of several students who say they were attacked while enrolled, and the ways their schools' administrators often discouraged them from reporting or punished them for speaking out, whether to protect the school's reputation or its finances. The film follows these students as they try to keep studying and hold their universities accountable, all while facing harassment and the ongoing effects of the trauma.

Kirby Dick directed, with Amy Ziering as producer. The film features Andrea Pino, Annie Clark, Kamilah Willingham, and Melinda Manning, among others. It was released in February 2015 and runs just over an hour and a half. The director's later work includes The Bleeding Edge.

The Hunting Ground holds a 7.5 rating on IMDb, based on roughly 6,600 votes, and a 7.4 rating on TMDB from a much smaller pool of 142 votes. The closeness of the two figures suggests that viewers who seek out the documentary tend to come away with similar impressions, with both audiences rating it well above average.
