I met super brave and hilariously funny filmmaker Nancy Schwartzman last weekend and wanted to make sure folks were aware of her complex film on sexual assault. It's called The Line and, in it, she reflects on her own rape, interviews sex workers as experts in consent, and even confronts her rapist on camera. It's really powerful and coming to college campuses around the country soon.
As part of the film promotions, she's also asking people to reflect on the question "Where is your line?"--promoting consent and self-reflection. Here's a lil' video she did on that:

So I ask you, where is your line? Go on over to Nancy's dynamic site and tell her too.

Nancy is definitely exceptional and awesome. We had a private-ish viewing of The Line this past spring, with her on hand, and it was wonderful. The film left us floored, to say the least.
If you can view this film, do it. If you can host a viewing with Nancy, do that. Amazing opportunity.
Nancy is indeed awesome (as is her website)! For those in NYC, Nancy, Paradigm Shift and Students Active for Ending Rape (SAFER) are hosting a screening of The Line on December 1, followed by a panel discussion with: NANCY SCHWARTZMAN, Filmmaker; ERIN BURROWS, Students Active For Ending Rape; JOSEPH SAMALIN, Men Can Stop Rape, Campus Strength Coordinator; IGNACIO RIVERA, Sex educator, Organizer & Performance Artist.
We'll be doing more outreach about it in the coming weeks, but for now the info is as follows:
