SSAIC’s November Reading List

Audrie & Daisy

This Netflix documentary is streaming on a device near you (you need a Netflix account, or someone’s password, to view). Check out Rolling Stone’s interview with the filmmaking duo here. They call it “the most difficult film they’ve ever made”. From the website:

AUDRIE & DAISY is an urgent real-life drama that examines the ripple effects on families, friends, schools and communities when two underage young women find that sexual assault crimes against them have been caught on camera. From acclaimed filmmakers Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk (The Island President, The Rape of Europa), AUDRIE & DAISY — which made its world premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival — takes a hard look at American’s teenagers who are coming of age in this new world of social media bullying, spun wildly out of control.

  • A look at the way RomComs undermine women

The Atlantic critiques classic romantic comedy storylines to show how they promote confusion between love and violence.

  • A helpful take-down of rape culture

This article breaks down rape myths and rape culture into easily digestible bits; Rape Culture 101 in 750 words or less.

  • Good news: Stanford sexual assault victim was named one of Glamour’s Woman of the Year
