It is going to be re-aired on ESPN2 at 3:30 AM Eastern Time tonight  (note: catch it tonight if you wan to see it. It doesn’t look like they will air again this week).

The filmmaker couldn’t get the accused players, the coach, Duke officials or even the accuser on film yet still managed to make a fascinating documentary.

They did extensive interviews with the parents and their lawyers, and came away with a very compelling story.

  1. My kids are in their early twenties and played lacrosse–they had very little knowledge about the case prior to watching this–they were livid and disgusted after watching it–hopefully a lot of people who did not experience it in real time will see the travesty that played out in Durham. The positive “rape” test in the hospital was the thing that gave me pause at the time–never occurred to e she would have had rough sex with her boyfriend just before–Gawd I can still hear and see Nancy Grace condemning those boys without a trial. Ugh. Meanwhile 2 summers ago several black football recruits at Vandy raped a white girl in the dorms and the media was silent.
