The statistics are chilling. A sexual assault occurs every two minutes
in the U.S. One in six women in America will be the target of rape or
attempted rape in her lifetime. And 40% of rapes go unreported. While
many victims of sexual assault try to forget their attacks, there is a
dedicated group of men and women working to bring the perpetrators to
justice for the ones who come forward. Directed by Lisa F. Jackson
(HBO's "The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo") Sex Crimes
Unit takes a look inside this division of the New York District
Attorney's office, which was the first of its kind in the nation.
Enjoying unprecedented behind-the-scenes access, the film follows
attorneys as they evaluate cases, track down evidence and witnesses,
and argue cases in court before a jury.
