Rape is a Four-Letter Word

Synopsis
Sexual attacks on women students have increased despite a fall in the general figure for sexual offences in Britain. The film is intended to warn students. Two kinds of sexual assault are shown: in one, a girl walking home from a party late at night is pulled off the pavement by a stranger with a knife; in the other, lovemaking between a girl and her boyfriend at a picnic goes beyond what she wants.
