Virtual Screening and Discussion of UNTOUCHABLE

Register to view the documentary UNTOUCHABLE online for free, and then join a virtual discussion of the film with Eric Janus, director of the Sex Offense Litigation and Policy Resource Center at Mitchell Hamline School of Law.

UNTOUCHABLE (2016) interweaves intimate portraits of men and women who have been branded sex offenders with the heartbreaking stories of those who have suffered sexual abuse; it pushes viewers toward an uncomfortable place, requiring them to walk in the shoes of those who have survived sexual abuse, but to still bear witness to the experiences of those we revile.
