Kenzie and Ame are back! This week, they are discussing the Netflix documentary Roll Red Roll. This is the case of the rape and dehumanization of a 16 year old girl by a couple of the star players on the high school football team in Steubenville, Ohio. An end of summer party turns dark in the wee hours of the morning when an unconscious Jane Doe is taken advantage of, while also having several spectators to her assault. Not only was there photographs taken, but the whole town's teenage population seemed to speak openly about it on social media. When it looked as though this would be yet another case being swept under the rug for the beloved Big Red football team, a local blogger took it upon herself to expose the posted these kids so carelessly left all over the internet. This started the wildfire that would sweep the nation and even gain global attention for the brutal and callus things many young women have had to endure at the hands of their popular male peers.
