1 in 5 women on college campuses report being sexually assaulted. But how many of those names do we know? Enter Ella Maythorne, your average spirited freshman girl, whose Halloween at a frat party goes terribly wrong. When the school and the police both refuse to fight for her, Ella decides to take matters into her own iPhone 6, launching a full-on social media campaign against her rapist. She is now the face of a movement, the poster child of campus rape, an activist for the Instagram era, and a celebrity in her own right - but where does she go from there? 

Featuring Anna Baryshnikov, Betsey Brown, Isabella Mehiel, Peter Falls, Dhari Noel, Bianca Crudo
