I Am Evidence

Despite the power of DNA to solve crimes, hundreds of thousands of rape kits, containing crucial DNA evidence, are currently languishing untested in police-evidence storage rooms across the country. Behind each one of these kits is a sexual-assault survivor waiting for justice to be served, and a perpetrator potentially evading prosecution. Produced by Mariska Hargitay and directed by Trish Adlesic and Geeta Gandbhir, I AM EVIDENCE exposes the alarming trend of unsolved rape cases, revealing how a flawed system has historically mistreated sexual assault survivors and showing how victims, advocates and some forward-thinking law enforcement officials are challenging the status quo. The eye-opening documentary debuts MONDAY, APRIL 16 (8:00-9:30 p.m. ET/PT), on HBO. The film will also be available on HBO On Demand, HBO NOW, HBO GO and partners' streaming platforms.
