Brave and honest
I had seen this documentary on youtube and I had tried to purchase it for some time, when I finally found it on amazon.com, and upon actually seeing it, I was most impressed. I have seen many of the other reviews of this documentary, and the hostile nature of most of them calling it pornographic or disappointing or baulking at it in some other way, are either a), men who just don't get it and never will and don't want to accept that women are capable of these things too, yet they don't seem to hide from it when it's their wives or girlfriends abusing them, b), women who don't want to accept it.It's so easy isn't it to laugh or critisize. To make a documentary like this takes guts and a real determination to get the truth heard. Of course lesbian rape happens, just like homosexual rape happens in the male community in prisons for example. What makes this so worthy of critism for telling the other side of it? I am hoping to publish a book which attacks women, which critisizes their attitudes in modern society, which may never see the light of day because no one wants to hear it, and so I have to admire this documentary and the makers not only for having the guts to make it in the first place, but for the quality of it too. I was always aware of the darker side of women unfortunately, and it made me laugh when a lot of these victims said they didn't think women were capable of such things. Well they are. And pregnancy is the most vindictive weapon that women can use against them, and they get away with it every time.I say well done indeed to the makers for being Brave and honest. It's just a pity that we live in a world which likes to hide from these things and slag off what it doesn't understand.

Soft porn as a documentary
I did a review of this about 2 years ago and now it's gone. Hmmmm..... I said that I felt these women in the film had been raped twice. Once by the rapists and then by the makers of this film.The victims seemed to think they were doing a documentary and telling their story the best that they could.But then, there is a reenactment of the rape. Done with very attractive actresses playing it up for both men and women who are into rape fantasy films.If you can ingnor that porn part - the interviews with the women are pretty good.There isn't much out there on this subject that isn't porn - like.Woman - to - Woman Sexual Violence by Lori B. Girshick is very good. Also, Female Sex Predators by John Davis has chapters that touch on this subject. Beware this guy's writing style is like a long angry rant and very anti- feminist.

VERY MISLEADING
I am not one to typically write a review for anything. However, this time I feel I have no choice but to express my thoughts. I purchased this "documentary" about "lesbian rape" for my spouse and I to watch since we greatly enjoy documentary films. From reading the other reviews and the product information it seemed I would be learning about something which I had never entertained as a real life situation of concern. Who hears of "lesbian rape"? We were intrigued...With that said I will first express my concern for the individual who has been the victim of rape that may watch this "documentary" in hopes of finding this helpful to their healing process, in not feeling alone, or finding help in understanding the emotional trauma they might feel about their own experience. In addition, this "documentary" did little more than convince us that there is no such thing as lesbian rape... at least if there is this film is the poorest portrayal of such a life changing and traumatic event EVER!In all honesty, I feel this "documentary", which has been seemingly raved about by other reviewers, is nothing more than cheaply done, amateur lesbian porn. To say this is any depiction of rape is misleading. I will admit that watching it in one sitting would be difficult as we repeatedly had to stop and walk away to try to figure out what we were watching and how it pertained to rape. People have fetishes, people partake in sadomasochistic practices and "taboo" sex... even lesbians. I cannot for the life of me figure out how it would be possible for one female to rape another when the circumstances begin with one woman smelling and licking the panties of the other??? She catches her doing this and rapes her? Ummm... wouldn't you say smelling and licking panties is a pretty good signal you actually want to engage in some sort of sexual relations with the person's panties you are doing this to?Waste of money, going in the trash! If I wanted to purchase and watch porn it would not be this. :(
