Has anyone seen The Wolfpack or The Hunting Ground?

Last night I watched 2 documentaries on Netflix and they were both very good.
The Wolfpack is about a family that pretty much raised their kids isolated from society in public housing in New York. They were never allowed outside.
The Hunting Ground was about sexual assaults on college and university campuses. It was eye opening! Very sad how athletes are pampered and protected when accused of sexual assaults. Even by law enforcement.

I will have to watch The Hunting ground, sounds good, although documentary films like this just get me aggravated, and I start wondering how I can change things.

I know about this topic all too well, when I was younger a girl I was dating at the time had been raped by a highschool football player, I heard about it from a friend of hers and it was a bad thing for her, the boy was sheltered and pampered by everyone involved, cops too. It really made me see how everyone cared more about the sport and money coming in from it rather than a serious crime.

If this kind of thing is so prevalent in highschool, I have to imagine it is out of control in the higher leagues.
