MEN AND BOYS

Roll Red Roll is a film about young men – their friends, their behavior, their culture. As a tool the film can help challenge the status quo, and inspire men and boys to join the movement to end sexual violence.

TEAMS AND SCHOOLS

We want Roll Red Roll to make it into the hands of everyday advocates in our schools, our athletic teams, and our communities. We are partnering with coaches, athletic directors, artists, athletes and educators to focus on youth engagement and male leadership.

COMMUNITIES AND PARENTS

“Rape culture” is not separate from campus culture, athletic culture, small towns, political culture. It is threaded into all aspects of our lives. When addressed at a community level we can lay the foundations for sustainable change.
