...clear disparity in these statistics leaves University officials little choice. They must take the responsibility for making existing resources better through mandatory training, and more accessible by increasing publicity to first-years and especially upper-class students, who are deprived of any sort of education on the issue.

The money shots come out of a computer or a studio tank. And though a storm is not a shark, the technical artistry plugs into a viewer's neurons to create a churning queasiness. You won't be moved. You will...
