In a small town where football is religion, Caitlin Rose (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen) makes the mistake of telling the truth. When she’s raped by Jace, the star player and member of The Crew, the school’s most powerful and feared clique, she does what she’s supposed to do. She reports it. What follows is worse than silence.
The community closes ranks around its golden boy. Fellow students shame and harass her. School administrators look the other way. Her boyfriend (Brian Austin Green) and her mother stand beside her, but the system refuses to. It takes a civil rights attorney to do what no one else would: take her seriously and fight the battle Caitlin shouldn’t have had to fight alone.
The first TV movie to confront date rape head-on, She Fought Alone was screened in women’s shelters across the country, reaching the women who needed it most.
