The Hunting Ground Summary

"The Hunting Ground", seen on April 10,11, and 12, covered the topic of campus rape. The true story behind the documentary is a shocking fact about campus rape. Rape is a very nig problem on college campus. It is not taken that serious in some colleges.

People have different personalities and this documentary shows that you might not know someone as well as you
