Summary
The line between sexual consent and sexual
coercion is not always as clear as it seems -- and
according to Harry Brod, this is exactly why we
should approach our sexual interactions with
great care. Brod, a professor of philosophy and
leader in the pro-feminist men's movement,
offers a unique take on the problem of sexual
assault, one that complicates the issue even as it
clarifies the bottom-line principle that consent
must always be explicitly granted, never simply
assumed.
Boys and Men Healing is a documentary about
the impact male child sexual abuse has on both
the individual and society, and the importance of
male survivors healing and speaking out for the
well being of individuals, families, and
communities.
Date Rape Drugs: What You Need to Know
features testimony from teen and adult victims,
rape advocates, and law enforcement, which
provides valuable insight into how this crime is
perpetrated, and the effects various date rape
drugs have on the body.
llustrated with hundreds of up-to-date images,
Dreamworlds 3 offers a unique and powerful tool
for understanding both the continuing influence
of music videos and how pop culture more
generally filters the identities of young men and
women through a dangerously narrow set of
myths about sexuality and gender.
Game Over is the first educational documentary
to address the fastest growing segment of the
media through engaging questions of gender,
race and violence.

In this documentary, Thomas Keith, professor of
philosophy at California State University-Long
Beach, looks specifically at misogyny and sexism
in mainstream American media, exploring how
negative definitions of femininity and hateful
attitudes toward women get constructed and
perpetuated at the very heart of our popular
culture.
The documentary features revealing interviews
about masculinity and sexism with rappers such
as Mos Def, Fat Joe, Chuck D, Jadakiss, and Busta
Rhymes, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, and
cultural commentators such as Michael Eric
Dyson and Beverly Guy-Shetfall.
The stories educate viewers about how sexual
assault can lead to a lifetime of devastation for
both the perpetrator and the victim, that
nonconsensual sex never equals love, and that
ignorance of laws is no defense against charges of
sexual assault.
The story of what happens when "The Mighty
Cheetahs," an undefeated all-girls soccer team,
competes in the boys division. With humor and
candor this documentary gets at the heart of the boygirl issues and explores what "Kick Like A Girl"
really means on and off the playing field. Kick Like
A Girl reminds us all of the lessons learned in
competitive athletics and how sports has been one of
the most effective instruments of social change in
our lifetime.
Jean Kilbourne takes a fresh look at how
advertising traffics in distorted and destructive
ideals of femininity. The film marshals a range of
new print and television advertisements to lay
bare a stunning pattern of damaging gender
stereotypes -- images and messages that too
often reinforce unrealistic, and unhealthy,
perceptions of beauty, perfection, and sexuality.
La Confianza Perdida is a Spanish language
program on date and acquaintance rape. The title,
utilizing a double entendre on the word
confianza, means both "loss of self confidence"
and "loss of trust in another."
Mickey Mouse Monopoly takes a close and critical
look at the world their animated films create and the

rape survivor stories who defy victimization.

definition of sexual assault. Viewers learn
important facts and statistics as well as the
implications of a definition based on consent
between partners.
The Price of Pleasure moves beyond the liberal
versus conservative debates so common in the
culture to paint a myth-busting and nuanced
portrait of how pleasure and pain, commerce and
power, liberty and responsibility have become
intertwined in the most intimate area of our lives.
With humor and refreshing candor, Fabianova's
Red Moon provides a fascinating, often ironic,
take on the absurd and frequently dangerous
cultural stigmas and superstitions surrounding
women's menstruation.
Filmmaker Angela Shelton journeys across the
United States meeting other Angela Sheltons in
an effort to survey women in America. She
discovers that 24 out of 40 Angela Sheltons have

predators and lives in the same town as the
filmmaker's father who molested her and her
stepsiblings for years.

Kristen Stewart, star of the "Twilight" series,
hosts and narrates this powerful 25 minute
program featuring a dramatization of sexual
assault on a college campus, testimonies from
survivors about their assaults, and discussions by
experts in the field.
SPEAK UP! explores what these students and
their allies have done to transform their schools
into safer and more welcoming environments.
Interviews with students, parents, teachers,
administrators and national activists highlight
not only the need for transformation, but offer
resources and advice for those actively working
for change.
By exploring the college party scene, Spin the
Bottle shows the difficulties students have in
navigating a cultural environment saturated with
messages about gender and alcohol. Interviews
with campus health professionals provide a clear
picture of how drinking impacts student health
and academic performance, but it is the students'
own experiences and reflections that tell the real
story behind alcohol's alluring public image.
Teen dating violence is a problem which can lead
to domestic violence in any home throughout the
United States. Recognizing the warning signs is
the first step to leaving abusive relationships and
seeking help. Students at a local high-school
realize the dangers of their own relationships as
Officer Ben Derrick explains the warning signs
associated with teen dating violence.
In striking visual detail, The Codes of Gender
explores Goffman's central claim that gender
ideals are the result of ritualized cultural
performance, uncovering a remarkable pattern of
masculine and feminine displays and poses. It
looks beyond advertising as a medium that
simply sells products, and beyond analyses of
gender that focus on biological difference or
issues of objectification and beauty, to provide a
clear-eyed view of the two-tiered terrain of
identity and power relations.

This artfully produced documentary illustrates
the poignant stories of incest survivors: former
Miss America, Marilyn Van Derbur, speaking out;
Janice Mirikitani, President of Glide memorial
Church, San Francisco, who helps inner-city
women addicts to heal from incest; and Barbara
Hamilton, a 79-year old survivor who ends three
generations of incest in her family.
A young woman is raped when a one-night stand
far from home goes terribly wrong. In the
aftermath, as she struggles to make sense of what
happened, she decides to make a film about the
relationship between her own experience and the
tangle of political, legal, and cultural questions
that surround issues of sex and consent.
This program contains three stories about the
shattering results of sexual abuse involving the
church.
In this spellbinding lecture, the author of White
Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged
Son offers a unique, inside-out view of race and
racism in America. Expertly overcoming the
defensiveness that often surrounds these issues,
Wise provides a non-confrontational explanation
of white privilege and the damage it does not
only to people of color, but to white people as
well.
While the social construction of femininity has
been widely examined, the dominant role of
masculinity has until recently remained largely
invisible. Tough Guise is the first educational
video geared toward college and high school
students to systematically examine the
relationship between pop-cultural imagery and
the social construction of masculine identities in
the U.S. at the dawn of the 21st century.
Estimates are that 20 percent of all men serving

the social system within prisons that allows this
violent sexual behavior to occur.

youth, addressing its relationship to real-life
violence and probing the social values that
