Rape: That's Entertainment? Can the cinema, a medium of fantasy, depict the violent reality of rape without being just an entertaining and, for some, sexually exciting spectacle? Do film-makers have a responsibility to debunk the myths that women 'deserve', 'ask for' or 'secretly desire' to be raped? Can films have a harmful effect on how we think about rape and its victims? At the heart of the programme is a specially commissioned film exercise which explores how the element of titillation in a rape scene ig minimised, and what techniques are.used by less scrupulous film-makers to exploit rape as a sexy sequence.
