Jodie Foster won the Oscar - deservedly.
Still pertinent, still chilling.
The ridiculousness of law, the shame of man.

The(ir) Blurb...
Sarah Tobias goes to her local bar and is gang-raped by three men. The district attorney on the case is Katheryn Murphy who wants to prove that although Sarah had taken drugs that night and was acting provocatively while in the bar, this is no reason for her to be so brutally attacked and the men responsible should be brought to justice.
