I Am Evidence - HBO Films

Focusing on three American cities grappling with tens of thousands of untested rape kits, this compelling and disturbing feature-length documentary detailed the experiences of four victims caught up in a fundamentally flawed criminal justice system.

DuPont Director Lisa R. Cohen spoke to directors Trish Adlesic and Geeta Gandbhir following a screening of their documentary at Columbia’s J-School. Adlesic and Gandbhir talk critical lessons learned while asking sexual violence survivors to share their story — like providing the right setting; doing your homework ahead of time; and creative ways to come up with the right questions.
