Project I'm Alive Twitter Q & A

Project I'm Alive will host a Twitter Q & A, Wednesday, November 4th at 9 PM MST/AZT (11 PM EST, 10 PM CST and 8 PM PST). Project Partners will answer your questions submitting from the time of posting until 9 PM MST/AZT on November 4.

                  

Raise questions about the dram side of the production or documentary or both. If you have questions for how to prevent this happening to anyone in your family, raise those kinds of questions. If it has already happened and you are interested in best practices to get help, raise those questions.

All questions are appropriate. We will speak honestly to you about your questions.

I'm Alive, a docudrama, currently in development tells the story of women's experience of sexual violence form prehistory to the present.

What is the difference between a prehistoric man who hits a woman in the head to drag her to a cave to rape her and a man who drugs a woman's drink in a club to drag her to a cave called hotel to rape her? Are males predisposed to the behavior of rape. Is it in the male biological programming? Is rape encoded in male DNA?
Are females predisposed to be available to rape? Is it in female biological programming? Is being raped encoded into female DNA? 

Project I'm Alive responds to these questions with immediately applicable information enhancing women's personal safety plus an action plan to minimize the potential for these criminal acts to take place and what to do when they do. 

The docudrama will include two components. Dramatic presentation will include two looks into the phenomenon of rape. First, viewers will share the observation of a prehistoric man brutalize a young woman, rape, and leave her to die without feeling. Second, viewers will observe a contemporary man drug a woman's drink to brutally gang rape her with friends while videoing the experience and leave her to die without feeling. 

The second component reveals how real women respond. Real women will share their stories of the terrorists acts of sexual violence acted out on them as little girls and teens many times by persons known to them; their family members, friends of family, and peers. Military women will share their experiences of sexual violence while serving their country in theaters of war called friendly fire.

Attention will also focus on the post - traumatic stress disorder affecting women for decades beyond the trauma. Many are mid to late 30's and 40's before asking themselves if their earlier experiences have affected their adult lives and relationships.

Sexual violence is a criminal act of terrorism demanding equal protection under the law. Sexual violence affects women everywhere on Planet Earth; every nation, age, stage, color, culture, class, level of ability, and religion. SEXUAL VIOLENCE NEEDS TO END.
