Fellowship of the Frog
Both Scotland Yard and an amateur American sleuth are tracking a master criminal known as The Frog. This moniker refers to the bulging-eyed mask worn by the evildoer, and is reflected by the frog icons painfully tatooed onto the forearms of his henchmen. The trail leads to the country manor of an enigmatic, steely-eyed nabob, whose repressed son has eyes for the artistes at the Lolita cabaret, and whose lovely daughter captures the fancy of both the American playboy and the villain himself. Murder, kidnapping and seduction ensue.

Harsh title don't you think so what is this dude on about? Here is an explanation from the directors and producers:"... need not worry about journalistic principles, and that they do not need to hear the other side, because this is a "film project". Why did they say that because 99.9% of the professors of Harvard are coming forward denouncing this piece of fiction and the cold hard fact that the guy was cleared of all wrong doing.Real rape is not something to joke about. In a couple instances the "self proclaimed rape victims" they were barely containing smiles while they were talking about their "rape experience" ( which comes right out 50 shades of grey). Someone who has about 25 years experience of reading peoples body language, i can tell you that ALL the interviewees have a high degree of untruthfulness in what they say. Looking down rapid eye blinking and other indications that someone is not telling the truth.This movie has been under so much scrutiny and has been proved to be a "horrific piece of propaganda film, one worthy of Goebbels". Either you make a fictional film OR you make a documentary based of verifiable sources.fact: i have multiple master degrees from a a couple European universities. As such I have been attending universities longer than any of these "people". In Europe there is no " rape culture" except the ones that are imported by extremist migrants ( rape and sexual assaults are up 10000% because of the migrant crisis). Every 6 years or so there will be some student ( male or female) that is raped but always it is by someone outside the academic sphere. I have also studied in the US, Harvard was one of the universities that I went to. None of this "rape culture" can be found there. Yes you Americans have a different way at doing things ( my opinion less academic more party) but in my opinion there lies the problem. Boys and girls party. Boys and girls drink alcohol. Boys and girls do drugs. The barriers they usually have up do down with this and then they have mutual intercourse. The girls wake up from their drunken stupor and regret it. Thus they start putting forth false rape allegations.I could go on pointing out every single mistake, lie, cherry picked "fact,Fact ripped out of context, fabricated facts, etc but you get where this is going.If I could give a lower number than 1 i would do so in heart beat. It is cringe worthy bad, full of lies and trumped up charges that have been thoroughly proved to be false rape allegations. As such the film should come with a disclaimer where it warns the viewers that it is not a documentary but a propaganda piece. That the people accused of being rapists were acquitted of all wrong doings and are NOT RAPISTS!This "film" is even worse than a Z labelled movie. It doesn't even create awareness for rape victims, on the contrary it desensitizes people to rape ( be it male or female victims of rape). One last thing to think about: I have worked as a volunteer at women's shelters. I have helped more women than most of these so called feminists and other SJW's combined. When speaking with even a battered woman they are SCARED TO TALK ABOUT IT!! Some even do not want to acknowledge that it is happening. Real victims don't go on TV or on films explaining what had happened to them. Nor will they smile when they are talking about their abuse.Fake film, avoid whenever possible. If a school wants to put this on the watch list ( report sick or ask another movie like Wonder Woman)

It is such a relief to see a documentary about campus rape. Finally, this epidemic is out in the open and getting the publicity it needs. I am a survivor of sexual violence and I can tell you that rape on campus and rape in general is WAY more common than most people assume it is. For everyone discounting the 1 in 4 statistic, look at the raw data from rape crisis hotlines. They get THOUSANDS of calls per day. These are not all from pathological liars or women who woke up with regret after having sex with someone. In fact, only 2 - 10% of rape allegations are false, and there are false allegations for EVERY crime. However, in our American culture, we are much more likely to be skeptical about rape allegations, which is unfortunate because when a victim brings an allegation forward or even just tells a friend, being disbelieved re-traumatizes the person. Someone else on here wrote that many women in their family have gone to college and none have been raped -- but that's not how statistics work. This person needs to take a statistics class. You can't choose any group of 4 women and expect to have exactly 1 rape survivor among them - depending on the particular group, none could be survivors or all four could be survivors. I am so glad that many universities are being called out for their improper handling of sexual assault allegations. For those of you who believe universities shouldn't be involved and this should only be a police matter, in my opinion, this isn't practical. Even if a rape report turned into an investigation, an arrest, and a future prosecution, this takes YEARS. In the meantime, both the victim and the alleged rapist exist on the same university campus, perhaps even in the same dorm room! As a survivor I can tell you this would be extremely traumatizing and it would affect the victim's ability to continue their education. This violates Title IX, which is "a law passed in 1972 that requires gender equity for boys and girls in every educational program that receives federal funding." Also, universities have sanctions for misconduct, which should also include sexual misconduct. Not all victims want to go to the police or are in a position to do so, and one of the worst things you can do to a victim of sexual assault is force them to go to the police (or not). They have already had their choices taken away from them when their own body was violated, so please don't take away their choice on how to handle their assault away from them as well.

Thought provoking documentary, exposing weaknesses in the processes and mechanisms in universities for survivors of sexual assault. A brave move. Other reviewers have focused in on one ongoing case - do not let that stop you from watching this documentary; it has a lot to tell.The two survivors who give up their own dreams in order to assist others, surviving on little and sleeping in cars, demonstrate the tenacity required to stand up to institutions (such as fraternities) where power balance does not sit in your favour. This movie is about what you can do as an individual to make a change. For those that don't believe this happens, or believe that funding of "feminist" causes gets more money than anything else, perhaps you should do some actual research. There are numerous peer reviewed papers published that demonstrate the breadth of this problem, which more often that not is swept under the carpet.

This movie is very timely, yet long overdue.There is a culture on college campuses that have encouraged violent acts against women for a long time. The first hand testimonials drive home the horror some of these young women endured. The one cautionary tale is the testimony of the Winston accuser, as he was not charged, yet she is allowed to tell her story without being questioned or allowing Winston to speak. Her movie testimony was different from earlier versions of her story. In my opinion, her inclusion cheapens the movie and takes a way from the other powerful statements of violence against women on college campuses. It is almost as if the producers wanted to sensationalize the movie by using a well known incident to drive up interest. The subject matter alone speaks for itself. A must see for all incoming freshman women and their parents.
