The director talks about his latest feature, “The Hunting Ground,” a documentary film that focuses on the sexual assaults at U.S. campuses, the cover-ups and the social toll on victims and their families. Produced by longtime filmmaking partner Amy Ziering (“The Invisible War”), the film follows survivors as they pursue their education while fighting for justice — despite harsh retaliation, harassment and pushback at every level.
