Girl 27
I recently watched the documentary Girl 27.
It's about Patricia Douglas, who in 1937, who was hired to work along with many other women and girls to work at a party MGM threw for its salesmen (they thought they were going to a film set). Patricia was raped at this event, and MGM systematically proceeded to cover up the crime. Patricia sued MGM in federal court. Although her case was dismissed, I am amazed at the courage it took for her to publicly take on a giant like MGM.
