Vanguard - Rape On The Reservation
Synopsis
Intimate, in-depth exploration of the issues people are talking about.
According to national statistics, one in three Native American women will be raped in her lifetime. Correspondent Mariana Van Zeller travels to Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, where the culture of silence surrounding sexual abuse has driven female residents to lives of quiet desperation. Many of those women have begun to fear for their lives, after the battered, naked body of a high school student was discovered in an abandoned house on the reservation. In this intimate documentary, rape survivors, past sex offenders and an overwhelmed police force offer a glimpse of the disturbing social attitudes and escalating violence threatening the Rosebud community.
