Introduction by Eric Ford, Director of Programs at VPBS, followed by post-screening discussion with Sarah Mell. Sarah has been active in the field of sexuality education for more than a decade, with much of that work focused on college and University campuses. Trained by the award-winning education team at Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, she is the Education & Outreach Coordinator at the Women’s Center at the University of Vermont, Sarah provides training and workshop opportunities for students, staff, and faculty on positive sexuality, prevention of sexual and intimate partner violence, and the experience of power and privilege in relationship to ourselves and others. She is happiest performing on stage, or when talking with college-aged men about all things related to sexuality.

At a pre-season party in small-town Steubenville, Ohio, a now-infamous sexual assault of a teenage girl by members of the beloved high school football team took place. Roll Red Roll is a true-crime thriller that goes behind the headlines to uncover the deep seated and social media-fueled “boys-will be-boys” culture at the root of high school sexual assault in America. Official Selection, 2018 Tribeca Film Festival.
