The Hunting Ground: The failures of a new documentary about rape on college campuses.

12

Review by State's Emily Yoffe (egad, a non-sports journalist!). One of the few negative reviews found on Rotten Tomatoes. I encourage your to read the entire thing, but here's what she had to say about Jameis:

"The longest set piece concerns the rape allegation against Jameis Winston, the former Florida State University quarterback. Winston was not charged after a criminal investigation and was found not responsible after a campus hearing in December. The New York Times wrote that the film challenges the National Football League to reconsider drafting him. In the movie his accuser, former FSU student Erica Kinsman, goes public. She says that after drinking a shot at an off-campus bar she started feeling strange: "I’m fairly certain there was something in that drink." Slipping in and out of consciousness, she says she found herself in a cab with three men—Winston and his roommates—and woke to find him brutally raping her. But the filmmakers fail to note that two toxicology reports found that she had no drugs in her system and little alcohol. They don’t reveal that at the December hearing she did not assert that she was drugged or unconscious. And because Winston is on the record denying the charges, fairness would mean acknowledging this."
