Debbie Smith: “A Life Interrupted”
Friday, September 21, 2007 @ 7PM Hendrix Theater
After Debbie Smith was raped, she didn’t take the law into her own hands, she wrote it. Just a few short years ago, hundreds of thousands of rape kits sat unexamined, the legal time limit for prosecution slowly ticking away, while offenders who committed unspeakable acts walked free. Debbie Smith changed all that. After being dragged in broad daylight and raped in the woods behind her home while her husband, a police officer, slept upstairs, Smith suffered through the de-humanizing rape-kit exam in hopes of capturing her brutal attacker. It was six years before her rapist was finally identified through a chance DNA test. Debbie vowed to work tirelessly on behalf of women in similar situations. Inspired by actual events
”A Life Interrupted” follows this brave woman’s journey to reclaim her life and put thousands of rapists behind bars.
