Beyond Rape: Behind a Survivor's Story

Joanna Connors tells how she reported "Beyond Rape: A Survivor's Journey," her remarkable first person account of her own rape, its aftermath and an investigation of the life that led her assailant to be a violent criminal. Her team at The Plain Dealer and the 2009 Dart Award judges talk about the reporting process and the qualities that led the story to win a Dart Award for Excellence in Coverage of Trauma.

Thank you for this. For your meticulous work, your words and your courage. I am in the process of building a viewership for my documentary: LIVING AFTER RAPE. The attached clip is one of a series I call 'Rape Talk' from my YouTube channel: YouTube.com/LivingWithPTSD. Here I attempt to use humor to dissipate denial. Please comment, question and pass on if you are able.
