The veracity of one of this year’s most talked about documentaries, “The Hunting Ground,” has been attacked by 19 Harvard Law School professors, who say the film’s portrayal of rape on college campus is distorted, specifically when it comes to their school’s handling of one particular case. Directed by Kirby Dick and produced by Amy Ziering, whose previous team efforts include the Oscar-nominated “The Invisible War” (2012), about sexual assault in the military, “The Hunting Ground” interviews victims of sexual assault at colleges around the country. These women, and some men, recount not only the rapes, but also the institutions’ often weak responses. After its premiere to largely favorable reviews at Sundance in January, it had a spring theatrical release, and is scheduled to be broadcast next Thursday on CNN.
