Trivia
The film is based on the experience of Cheryl Araujo, who survived a violent gang rape on March 6, 1983 at Big Dan's Tavern in New Bedford, Massachusetts by six men (four of whom were later convicted). The bar lost its liquor license the next day, and was permanently closed two days later.

Goofs
When Kathryn Murphy visits Sarah Tobias in Sarah's mobile home shortly after Sarah's hospitalization, the gash on the bridge of Sarah's nose has suddenly healed and completely disappeared.

Quotes
Sarah Tobias: You don't understand how I feel! I'm standing there with my pants down and my crotch hung out for the world to see and three guys are sticking it to me, a bunch of other guys are yelling and clapping and you're standing there telling me that that's the best you can do. Well, if that's the best you could do, then your best sucks! Now, I don't know what you got for selling me out, but I sure as shit hope it was worth it!

No Male Bashing Took Place in this movie

I was appalled by one reviewers comments on this movie, stating that a rape victim "got what she deserved". NO one, Woman or man, deserves to be raped, violated or harmed just because they were at the wrong place.

This movie is based on a true story, and the actors were very moving. People make mistakes, someone could be that upset and choose to behave in a manner not appropriate, yet when that Person chooses to stop and say NO, then No is it. No, Stop, Don't, these words do not mean, well, I ask for it. Anyone who thinks otherwise, I feel sorry for because they are sad, lonely and deprived of self worth.

Jodi Foster Is a great actress and puts all her strength in her roles. She is very talented and she and Kelly M. made this movie. Hopefully the person that had to endure this horrid act, is going on, with strength and success.
