A VIOLENT DANCE: The True Story of Grant Neal, A Documentary.
Many people probably remember reading about Grant Neal. He was a very promising student-athlete at CSU-Pueblo, but had his dreams crushed when his university falsely accused him of rape. Grant’s girlfriend never accused Grant, and never said she was assaulted, but a third party saw a hickey on the neck of his consenting girlfriend, and reported Grant to TitleIX as an abuser. After a college kangaroo hearing process, Grant was expelled in 2015…But now it’s 2018 and it appears that through Grant’s strength, stamina, and perseverance, he pushed past his unjust persecutions, and is achieved success with a different dream. SOS was so happy to hear about an upcoming documentary on Grant Neal’s true story.
“When we first met with Grant to discuss his story and the plan of turning it into a documentary, he was hesitant. In addition to the technical challenges of filmmaking, Grant’s narrative was very sensitive and we’d have to navigate our way around legal obstacles in order to have an open dialogue about his Title IX case. Regardless of the challenges, we were all determined to make this film and just a week after our first meeting, we received full legal clearance and kicked-off production.” Filmmaker Magellan Rubin
