Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

I used the unedited version - last year in my class and again this year 
- though I teach at a law school so my students are older than most 
college students.

I advised my students repeatedly in the weeks earlier that they should 
expect to be upset and should feel free to leave - etc -

None of my students did leave.  I opened the film to the entire school 
because I have a disproportionate number of women in my class and it's 
a film that really should be seen my males -

All of my students wrote reflection papers thereafter - and none of 
them were inordinately distressed.  the most common comment was "I was 
shocked to learn X Y or Z" - and "this was an eye-opener - ".

I have seen the film many times - and watched it recently at a showing 
at Harvard.  Nobody left the room that I saw - and the discussion 
afterwards was excellent with many students wanting to talk about how 
to create more openness about healthy sexuality while also appreciating 
the harm of porn.

There is nothing super controversial about the film.  The worst parts 
are the scenes that depict violence.  Torture scenes with women being 
drowned - heads in toilets - and strangulation.  The sexual scenes are 
not always explicit - though there are quite a few that are.  Some 
pixillation is used - even in the unedited version - and the filmmaker 
is careful to interrupt when things get intense.

it is a very important film - worth seeing no matter how much 
controversy or discomfort is expressed.

In my opinion - it could have and should have been even more explicit 
and more revealing of the more sordid features of the business -

the filmmaker believes the explosion of the industry and insatiable 
demand on the internet will inevitably lead to more violent porn - so 
more films will need to be made to expose the increasingly violent 
nature of the harm.  this film is just the beginning.

Hello,

In addition to Wendy, how many of you have screened the documentary 
“The Price of Pleasure”?
Did you use the edited or full (explicit ) version? Were there any 
other considerations in showing the film?

I am planning to screen this film here at Emory, but I am facing the 
concern of some administrators. I would like to meet with them and show 
a list of other schools that have screened this film.

Any information and feedback you can provide regarding your event would 
be appreciated.

Thank you!
Aline

Hello list -
My students are looking for a movie to show for Sexual Assault
Awareness
Month. In the past we've done a week with movies and discussion every
night. This year we only have space on the calendar for one. Is there
one movie that sticks out to you as great for awareness, entertaining,
and inspires discussion?
Thanks,
Emily
