The record shows that what happened that night was precisely the kind of spontaneous, drunken encounter that administrators who deal with campus sexual assault accusations say is typical. Willingham's story is not an illustration of a sexual predator allowed to run loose by self-interested administrators. What the evidence (including Willingham's own testimony) shows is often dramatically at odds with the account presented in the film. I looked into the case of Kamilah Willingham, whose allegations generated a voluminous record. Yoffe's report deals a serious blow to The Hunting Ground's credibility, undermining the film's message that college is a place where innocent girls are preyed upon by sociopathic rapists. Yoffe found significant discrepancies between what T he Hunting Ground claimed happened to Willingham and what actually happened these differences are so stark that they call into serious question whether the accused student, Brandon Winston, did anything remotely criminal. Slate's Emily Yoffe just published a comprehensive review of the alleged sexual assault of Harvard University law student Kamilah Willingham, one of documentary's central purported victims.
The film was as polarizing as any other high-profile piece about the purported college rape crisis-victims' rights groups praised it, civil libertarians expressed skepticism.
The Hunting Ground, a documentary about campus sexual assault that features interviews with alleged survivors of rape, has been criticized ever since its February debut.
