UnSlut Starts Conversations in Vermont

Over the weekend, UnSlut: A Documentary Film was screened and discussed in Middlebury and Montpelier, Vermont. Both events were attended by Gina Tron, a local reporter and author who also appears in UnSlut, sharing her experience being "slut" shamed after reporting her rape. On Friday afternoon, UnSlut was screened at no charge at the Town Hall Theater in downtown Middlebury, followed by a breakout session in small groups to discuss the issues of "slut" shaming and sexual bullying. As the Rutland Herald reported on the event, "Friday’s discussion groups examined the roles boys and men play and how this film can fit into middle and high school programs."

 The next day, UnSlut: A Documentary Film was screened as an official selection of the 19th annual Green Mountain Film Festival in Montpelier. The film was followed by a panel discussion, which included Gina Tron as well as Clare Fraser and Mary Ellen Solon. UnSlut had been screened in Vermont on two previous occasions last fall, at Middlebury College and at Burlington City Arts.
