Rape Stories
A film by Margie Strosser
1989, 25 minutes, Color/BW, VHS
Order No. W99389

In October 1979, Margie Strosser was raped in the elevator of her apartment building. Two weeks later, she asked a friend to interview her about the incident. Ten years later, she remembers and recounts the rape, revealing the emotional texture of the experience and the reshaping of the event through memory. Between these two distant and disparate versions of the same story, slips a third, that of the video narration, which integrates the experience over time, revealing the process of recovery. Candid and intimate, RAPE STORIES speaks to women's common fears and the importance of telling our stories, however painful.
