The Hunting Ground by Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering
This book is a companion piece to the film The Hunting
Ground. There is not a lot of new information in this book. I did not feel like
it really added to the conversation. There are some follow up stories by the
filmmakers, some behind the scenes information, and some follow-up essays
responding to the content of the movie.
As of this review, seven years have gone by. A lot of things
have changed in that time. Which is great. However, there is still a lot that
needs to be done. We are all grateful for the work of these filmmakers, they
started a conversation and changed things.
I don’t want to call this book “dated,” but I think there
some other books out there now that will give a reader a better understanding of
modern college campuses.
