The 1991 rape of 76-year old Florence Holway in Alton set off a chain of legislative events that permanently changed the legal statutes regarding victims' rights in sexual assault cases in New Hampshire. We'll talk with filmmakers Charlene and Jeffrey Chapman whose HBO documentary explores the case, and with Sandra Matheson, the director of Victim/Witness Assistance in the Attorney General's office. Rape in a Small Town is part of this weekend's Women's Film Festival in Brattleboro, and will be available through HBO's On Demand service from March 27th to April 23rd.
