Film Screening and Discussion: Audrie & Daisy

National Archives at Kansas City
Kansas City, MO

Wednesday, November 2, 2016 - 5:30 p.m. EDT

5:30 p.m. reception/6:00 p.m. film
In celebration of the Bill of Rights 225th anniversary, the National Archives is holding many different conversations across the nation to explore the continuing and often complicated issues of rights in our age. Often, victim’s rights are overlooked in many cases involving issues like sexual assault and bullying. Audrie & Daisy examines the ripple effects on families, friends, schools and communities when two underage young women find that sexual assault crimes against them have been caught on camera. From filmmakers Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk (The Island President, The Rape of Europa), this film takes a hard look at America's teenagers who are coming of age in a world of social media bullying, spun wildly out of control. Audrie & Daisy debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2016. Film running time is 95 minutes.

After the film, representatives from the Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault and Park University will discuss aspects related to sexual assault, the criminal justice system in relation to victim advocacy, and suicide prevention. This program is presented in partnership with the Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault and Park University.
