00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:04.200
Is The Rape of Recy Taylor as disturbing as
it sounds?

00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:10.720
“They put me in the car and blindfolded
me."

00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.920
Well, the story is definitely upsetting but
still important to share.

00:00:14.930 --> 00:00:20.250
This powerful documentary revisits an awful
crime from 1944 that went unpunished in the

00:00:20.250 --> 00:00:22.090
Jim Crow-era South.

00:00:22.090 --> 00:00:26.420
Discussions of racially motivated violence
and sexual assault are front and center here.

00:00:26.420 --> 00:00:30.630
So expect some disturbing imagery, plus repeated
use of the "N" word.

00:00:30.630 --> 00:00:36.020
Despite the difficult themes, Recy Taylor
is a true survivor and hero, whose story should

00:00:36.020 --> 00:00:38.730
inspire a passion for justice and equality.

00:00:38.730 --> 00:00:43.080
"My daddy would tell us, 'Don't be afraid.'"

00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:47.740
Common Sense says The Rape of Recy Taylor
is OK for teens 15 and up.

00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.700
