What is The Line Campaign? From their website:

"THE LINE is a film that explores the intersection of sexual identity, power and violence. How do we negotiate our boundaries as sexually liberated women? How much are we desensitized to sexual violence? Through conversations with football players, educators, survivors of violence, prostitutes, and attorneys, this personal film explores the “grey area” and the elusive line of consent."

Topic: Screening, Q & A for THE LINE

Description: Told through a "sex-positive" lens, The Line is a documentary (24 min) about a young woman - the filmmaker - who is raped, but her story isn't cut and dry. Not a "perfect victim" the filmmaker confronts her attacker, recording the conversation with a hidden camera. Sex workers, survivors and activists discuss justice, accountability and today's "rape culture". Please join the filmmaker Nancy Schwartzman, and outreach staff Melissa Gira Grant and Melanie Wallner for a screening, snacks and Q & A.
