In a surreal meeting filled with countless individuals from a variety of backgrounds, nine people recount how sex and sexuality have been used to exert control over their lives. Regardless of race, sexual orientation, nationality, social class, religion, or gender, all are equally shattered and all are equally victims. Those that recount their experiences show that the power / sex dynamic can come in many forms. Whether the power is taken away by physical or psychological means, and regardless of whether it is perpetrated by an individual, institution, or society, the results are equally devastating.

R is a 2013 drama film that explores how sex and sexuality have been weaponized as tools of control across different lives. Through nine interconnected testimonies spanning race, gender, sexual orientation, and social class, the film examines the devastating impact of power dynamics in intimate contexts. It's a raw, unflinching look at institutional and personal trauma.
