BBC synopsis:
This film explores rape in a way that has never been seen on British television before: from forensic medical to police investigation, court and beyond.

Juliet was attacked by a stranger on New Year's Eve, while Kellie had known and trusted her attacker for over a decade. In 2012 St Mary's, the UK's leading sexual assault referral centre, allowed exclusive access, opening its doors to cameras as they supported Juliet and Kellie as well as over 1,000 other victims of rape seeking justice or attempting to move forward with their lives.

Through the experiences of the victims, the specialists at St Mary's, Greater Manchester Police's Serious Sexual Offences Unit and the Crown Prosecution Service, this film offers a unique and revealing perspective on rape in Britain today.

Saw a feature in this in the Radio Times, Juliet's story, hoping to watch it.

Started to watch this. Will go back to it on I player. Really hard for me to watch, when Juliet was talking about not remembering.

Powerful stories.

I could have cried when they talked about the different coloured folders for child victims and there were so many - not to take away from the awfulness of attacks on adults.

Good for Juliet getting a successful prosecution but bitter sweet for others who went through the ordeal of the court process only to find the perpetrator was acquitted.
