A Complaint of Rape (1982)

A Complaint of Rape made news around the world and inspired then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to question the procedure as well as the attitude of those involved The woman was asked deeply inappropriate personal questions about her sex life menstruation and her mental health The officers dismissed her claims and told her directly that they didnt believe her The film instigated a public outcry and as Graef noted on BBC Radio 4s Front Row in 2014 the film came after three very controversial rape cases the week before and the police quietly changed the way they handled rape
