Just 20

An experimental look at the harsh reality of date rape in youth or college culture inspired by the statement made by Dan A. Turner, the father of convicted Stanford rapist Brock Turner, urging a judge to sentence his son to probation, which sparked outrage. The key to that statement was ""His life will never be the one that he dreamed about and worked so hard to achieve. That is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life." Just 20 is an unflinching look at what 20 minutes of "action" looks like, let alone wondering its effects for the victim for a life time to come.

Directed by Gavin Michael Booth, Just 20 leans on a strong ensemble — Henry Monfries, Savanna Houston, Amy Ginsburg — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2016.
