RAINN is an organization that helps survivors of Rape, Abuse and Incest. They have a National Sexual Assault Hotline, 800.656.HOPE and a secure chatline, online.rainn.org, where you can talk to someone. Their new campaign is called survivor series featuring stories from survivors of those horrible experiences. The aim is to remove the shame and stigma of talking about it, but to also show how people are healing today, and refusing to stay victims. The film above is a collection of all their stories but to see each one in-depth, go to RAINN's Survivor Stories page.
This campaign was launched in advance of Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month in April, and was made possible by a Getty Images Creative Grant, awarded to ad agency Project Buchanan (Florence Buchanan, Creative Director) and Mother Image (Susan Carolonza Chanin, Executive Producer and photographer Rana Faure) and their partner, director Poppy de Villeneuve. In addition, creative companies donated their work and time to this effort including post-production and editorial house Hooligan and production company Zebra, with audio post production by Sonic Union, telecine by Nice Shoes, and photo retouching and print production by Advertising Arts.
