Manage episode 367263797 series 3487885
Documentary filmmakers Bonnie Cohen and Jon Shrek met in the 1990s as graduate students at Stanford University's documentary filmmaking course.
They made documentaries like Inside Guantanamo and Lost Boys of Sudan. One of the most chilling documentaries they created was called Audrey & Daisy featuring the life story and assault aftermath of two young girls- Audrey Pott and Daisy Coleman.
She was new in the town of Maryville and wanted a fresh start with her family. She was a high-school cheerleader who was famous for her sports abilities. She was finally moving on with life. But her life changed completely when she sneaked out one night with her best friend Paige Parkhurst.
Daisy was a survivor of sexual assault, online bullying, and harassment. She depicted her story online and became an advocate for teen survivors of sexual assault. She was working as a tattoo artist and everyone thought she finally got her life back on track.
But the ghost of her past keeps on hunting her and she killed herself at the age of 23. As they say "You never know someone's suffering till they are gone."
