In a personally driven film essay, Sunny Bergman explores why sexual violence is a problem of epidemic proportions and how we can break it. Why do nearly a quarter of all women experience sexual violence in her or his lifetime? And if so many women experience sexual violence, who are those who do it to them?

In observational investigative scenes at vice and court, personal reflections on her own experiences with sexual violence and candid conversations with both victims and (potential) perpetrators, we see how we as a society deal with sexual violence. Only when we have a deeper understanding of the system within which sexual violence occurs are we able to effect change.
