A little liquid or powder is slipped into a drink. Women are being drugged into unconscious or semi-conscious states and being raped. They often have little or no memory of the attack or attacker–just the feeling that something horrible has happened. Due to the lack of awareness about these drugs, women are unaware of how vulnerable they are, and perpetrators are getting away with their crimes. Women need to know what they can do to protect themselves, heal, and potentially send their attackers to prison. Dissolve is a documentary on drug-facilitated sexual assault that will inform, provoke and engage both men and women.
