Roll Red Roll at the Chicago Cultural Center

Join WTTW at the for a free screening and discussion of POV's season opener, Roll Red Roll. Nancy Schwartzman's award-winning film reconstructs the infamous Steubenville rape case and its aftermath, uncovering the engrained rape culture at the heart of the incident. It's a cautionary tale about what can happen when teenage social media bullying runs rampant and adults look the other way. The film unflinchingly asks: “why didn’t anyone stop it?”
