Revealing The Rapist (D)

A group therapy session in a halfway house is the setting for this powerful drama. Psychologist Dr. Joan Briggs, is in charge of evaluating whether five convicted felons are fit to rejoin society. She provides counseling to the men who are completing their sentences for crimes, ranging from assault, to rape, to solicitation, to kidnapping, in an attempt to force the men to confront their abusive ways. She pulls no punches as she probes deep into the men’s psyches to find a moment from their past when their innocence was taken away. Recounting the nature of their crimes, Joan turns the tables and breaks each man down to find the truth behind what they did. A story of brutal violence committed solely through dialogue, “Revealing The Rapist,” is an extreme look into psychological “mindf___ing.” Writer: Eric Nemoto. Pages: 89.
