What happens
When He's Not a Stranger is a 1989 American made-for-TV crime drama film directed by John Gray and starring Annabeth Gish, Kevin Dillon, Kim Myers, and John Terlesky. The story is about a college freshman who is physically and sexually assaulted by a controlling football jock, and addresses the ordeal that rape victims experience. The movie was originally planned to be broadcast on October 17, 1989, but was delayed due to coverage surrounding the earthquakes in Northern California. The film premiered on CBS on November 6, 1989. When He's Not a Stranger was released amid a wave of TV shows and movies addressing rape. The film specifically addressed acquaintance rape, with scholars Carol Bohmer and Andrea Parrott calling it a "landmark" for doing so. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
