Audrie & Daisy is an American documentary film about three cases of statutory rape. The documentary follows their outcomes through time, social media, court documents and police investigations. It opened theatrically at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival on 25 January 2016.[1][2] The film was purchased by Netflix for streaming.
The film directors Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk, a husband-and-wife team who have teenage children of their own, are fascinated by the role of social media in teenage lives and were attracted to the subject of the Daisy Coleman story as "a modern-day ‘Scarlet Letter’ story.”[3]
