We’re thrilled to announce that The Center for Investigative Reporting’s new documentary, “Victim/Suspect,” is now available to watch on Netflix.
This investigative documentary follows CIR reporter Rae de Leon as she uncovers a shocking nationwide pattern: Young women tell police they’ve been sexually assaulted, but instead of finding justice, they’re charged with making a false report, arrested and even imprisoned by the system they believed would protect them.
The film also features a first-of-its-kind case study of investigations in which police charged self-reporting sexual assault and rape victims with a crime.
The documentary was produced in partnership with Motto Pictures and Center for Investigative Reporting Studios as a Netflix original film. It was directed and produced by Nancy Schwartzman (“Roll Red Roll”).
“Victim/Suspect” premiered as an official selection of the 2023 Sundance Film Festival in the U.S. Documentary Competition.
