DIRECTED BY NANCY SCHWARTZMAN

At a pre-season soccer get together in small-town Steubenville, Ohio, a heinous crime befell: the assault of a teenage lady by members of the beloved highschool soccer group. What transpired would garner nationwide consideration and outcome within the sentencing of two key offenders. But it was the disturbing social media proof uncovered on-line by crime blogger Alexandria Goddard, and chronicled by Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter Rachel Dissell, that provoked essentially the most highly effective questions in regards to the case, and in regards to the collusion of minor bystanders, academics, mother and father, and coaches to guard the assailants and discredit the sufferer. Unfolding like a thriller, ROLL RED ROLL painstakingly reconstructs the night time of the crime and its aftermath, and uncovers the ingrained rape tradition on the coronary heart of the incident — illuminating what can occur when teenage social media bullying runs rampant and adults blame the sufferer. “Essential viewing. Documents the case in such a powerful fashion that your feelings of outrage will persist long after the movie is over.” – Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter

“[Nancy] Schwartzman handles the subject matter with respect, grace, insight, and even hope. Through the lens of the Steubenville rape case, Roll Red Roll shows that society is finally beginning to take rape and rape culture seriously—and how far we still have to go.”
– Erika W. Smith, BUST Magazine

“Gripping… well-constructed, compelling.”
– Jason Bailey, Village Voice
