Summary
At a 2012 pre-season high-school football party in Steubenville, Ohio, a young woman was raped by members of the beloved high school football team. The aftermath exposed an entire culture of complicity-and Roll Red Roll maps out the roles that peer pressure, denial, sports machismo, and social media each played in the tragedy.
