Roleplay

Katie Mathews, USA 2024, 86’
New Wave Seeking Mavis Beacon

A play written by students from New Orleans serves as both self-therapy and a call to action. It challenges the authorities' inertia in addressing the wave of sexual violence at American colleges. The documentary offers an intimate and sensitive portrayal of the struggle the students undertook to break the silence surrounding rape culture and the patriarchal systems that perpetuate it.
