BIG DRIVER Part 2: "Rape Revenge Movies" (FULL DARK, NO STARS)

As you recall from Part 1, BIG DRIVER is the story of a woman raped and left for dead who fights the odds and takes vengeance on her assaulter. King roots this novella firmly in the tradition of Rape Revenge Cinema, and this episode will take a look at the long and complicated history of how this fraught subgenre went from fringe outcast to respected mainstream.

Along the way we'll hear from Intimacy Coordinator Deven MacNair about the difficulties of filming rape scenes and the potential harmful effects they can have on the actors, filmmakers, and audience.
