1230 - Not A Pretty Picture (1975)

Content warning: This episode addresses a film that explicitly addresses issues related to and depicts the actions of violent sexual assault.

Director Martha Coolidge blends drama and documentary in an unflinching consideration of her rape as a younger woman. Ostensibly a dramatic recreation of the events surrounding and during the assault, she breaks through the dramatic wall to discuss the project and personal recollections of herself an the actors in this daring and groundbreaking film.
