Harriet Hirshorn | NO! The Rape Documentary | Media Activism
October 8, 2008
“I am still thinking about your film, which was really interesting, beautiful, brave, inspiring, truly activist media, truly media activism… I think this is the first time in my life that I can actually glimpse the possibility that rape is something that could be stopped. I also think you have found a brilliant way to organize.”

While NO! predominantly focuese on rape and sexual assault, half of the featured rape survivor stories talk about being physically battered by their perpetrators who were their intimate partners and friends. NO! makes the link between domestic violence and sexual violence.
“I really loved this film!” — Jennifer Young
In her video testimonial, Jennifer Young of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, talks about how “incredibly powerful” NO! was and that (Aishah Shahidah Simmons and Monica Dillon) were “phenomenal” in talking about the intersections of classism, racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression on any college campus or organization in the world. Ms. Young was also deeply impacted by the discussions, in NO!, about the direct ole of religion in violence against women in communities of color and hopes that NO! will provide a space for all women and men to tackle the issues of ending domestic violence, rape and other forms of sexual violence against women.
