"Rape: Cries From The Heartland" by Maryann De Leo, scan from the VideoFest ‘92 program booklet.

Rape: the fastest growing crime in America. This tape is a graphic portrayal of the aftermath of rape and follows the stories of seven cases. The victims range from an 8- year old child to a 72 year old grandmother. The camera arrives with the police only minutes after a rape was reported and follows the women and their families as they confront the legal system and try to cope with the trauma of rape.
