• A longer version is available under 'films' from the main menu called 'unbroken'

Click on films and then click on 'unbroken'

Description: 9 minute film by Brad Furman

"Unbroken is haunting for an altogether different reason. This short film/PSA for the Rape Abuse Incest National Network concerns a young woman trying to hold herself together and confront her trauma after being sexually assaulted. Furman manages to strike an effective balance between beautiful, powerful images depicting a touchy subject without making it feel too 'slick' or music-videoesque. Information on how someone can report an assault is included." EInsiders

Unbroken is also available here.

 

FEAR - multi-media documentary project

http://www.fearproject.org/index.php

"Each FEAR Project story is a stand-alone 'chapter' intended as part of an overarching production for the editorial, educational, and advocacy markets. The themes are meant to help people think critically about how we live; sexual violence is pervasive and psychologically debilitating, the statistics show it, but the revelation is in the personal narrative. In these stories we can find our relationship to the violence and hopefully make sense of it" This is very moving, professionally done and effective. The format is video with audio voice-overs. The 'Portraits' promotional video would be very good for showing during class presentations as an overview.

How to help sexual assault survivors

http://www.radio4all.net/index
also here: http://www.freedom-center.org/radio/

Very informative audio on how to support sexual assault survivors. The voice is male and goes through the whole list of "what not to say" and what to be sure to do. Example: Advising not to ask too many questions and "don't say 'when are you going to get over this.'" Do say- "you did the best you could do to survive." I think this would be very powerful played at the same time as a silent video or a video with music only (such as the crawl text version of 'lift me up').

RAINN talk radio interview

"Darcey West is the Communications Manager at RAINN (Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network). The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) is the nation's largest anti-sexual assault organization and has been ranked as one of “America’s 100 Best Charities by Worth magazine." This is a long, in depth interview in two parts. It is not a short psa so much as a normal interview on the radio.

Tori Amos for RAINN if you know of an audio version please contact me

http://www.yessaid.com/RAINN.html

“Hi, I’m Tori Amos, and I’d like to talk to you about healing from the crime of rape. It’s taken me years to take the steps to deal with my anger and this incredible empty void which had taken me over. I wrote the song Me and a Gun as a first step in acknowledging what had happened. Since then I’ve had help from wise people who have given me emotional tools to climb out of this darkness. So with the help of Atlantic Records, we’re launching the first nationwide 24-hour sexual assault hotline and toll free number. You’ll be confidentially connected to the Rape Crisis Center nearest you. And remember, the hotline is open 24 hours a day. The number is 1-800-656-HOPE. That’s 1-800-656-HOPE, because there is hope.” [Public Service Announcement, 1994]

Quote: "The May 20 airing on Lifetime Television of the made-for-TV-movie "Scared Silent" and a subsequent public service announcement prompted nine times the normal call volume on the National Sexual Assault Hotline. "Scared Silent" aired as part of Lifetime Television's "Our Lifetime Commitment: Stop Violence Against Women" campaign. The program was followed by a public service announcement with information about its "put rapists in jail" online petition and the Hotline's toll-free number, 800-656-HOPE. The National Sexual Assault Hotline is operated by The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) established by singer Tori Amos."
